That would be nice, indeed. I've looked at the build script mentioned
above, and they do not seem to be using dirty tricks to build their
toolchain. The only obscure point so far is that they're using a quite
old gcc version: 3.4.5, with some patches, it seems.

As I don't do Windows (or only very rarely), that's not high on my todo
list, but I may eventually get to it. Patches welcome to speed up the
inclusion! :-)
