This means that you should be able to rebuild components of Mingw32 out of the box now. It also makes it easier to build apps in general. For one thing my Jambase (set of built in rules for Jam) allows you to build import libraries and compile resource files (given you have rcl and cvtres) straight into your application just by doing something like this: Main foo.exe : foo.c bar.c resources.rc ; It also takes care of putting a .reloc section into your executable by doing all those funky dlltool tricks (yes this increases compile time, but it also makes your GUI applications have the proper icon in an Explorer window). Anyway, use if you like, ignore if you like.
