the answer is:

It was backed out because I didn't have the time or the expertise to
review and test them properly. I wanted it to be exposed to this type
of public discussion.  Also there was no documentation to point to when
questions arose. Since they were backed out there has been no feedback
from the mingw user list asking for re-inclusion.
