  It's a bit of a kludge compared to having a real honest-to-god
cross-compiler.  It's never worked entirely right in terms of keeping cygwin
and mingw headers and libs completely separate.  A full-blown mingw
cross-compiler won't cost that much in terms of disk space and the reliability
and correctness improvements will be worth it.

    cheers,
