No, it seems there are more bugs ahead!
I changed the code in NtMapViewOfSection() to make all parts of a mapped
image section writable. The simple 'hello world!' example crashed upon
initialization. This is propably due to missing or buggy SEH-support.

It is not a mistake! MSVC executables and MinGW executables have a slightly
different layout. That's all. Of course, M$ could use this to get rid of
'evil, criminal, cancerous <insert more buzzwords here> open source
applications' by adding some checks to the loader.
