OK.  The hope at least is that now that the infrastructure for cross
compilation is in our sources, it should be easier for you to add back
Mingw32.  We'll see.

Yeah.  The person I built the cross-compiler for didn't mind paying
the fee.  I'm sure there are others who won't mind the fee or GPL
their apps.  In any case, I will try to help you over the next few
months integrate a MinGW into our source tree, since I think it is a
nice alternative.  Plus, I'm not very happy with the robustness of
Cygwin.
