  Hi again, all.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but Mingw.org recently released the gcc
4.4.0 suite
as a single bundle (you still need mingw-runtime and win32api).  There
were a couple
of issues with how they package the stdc++ libs, but once that is fixed,
it will
be a great improvement to our builds.

The big thing is that mingw will start using Dwarf2 exception handling by
default (we jumped the gun a bit in switching to dw2).  So we will be able
to share our c++ libs with other projects now, such as Fedora-mingw.

Also, Mingw has a new project, mingw-get, which is their
version of a package and dependency manager.  How cool is that?
Something we have wanted for a long time.  Wish them luck on
that project.
