As I said, unless I see a few individuals step forth to provide a plan and actual work, there is no chance of this happening. When I get email from someone wondering if something is going to be done, I like to make sure that I respond either in the positive or the negative. I am just letting everyone know that neither I or Corinna will be interested in doing this. AFAIAC, mingw is a separate project and should remain that way. However, if someone has a nifty plan for modifying setup.exe so that it conditionally downloads mingw libraries and if they also have a plan for keeping things in sync with mingw.org (we really shouldn't be trying to supplant that project) then I'm all ears. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
