  Yes, but it's a lower priority to me than getting the base system solid
first.  Also, it needs re-arranging w32api and the mingw libs into a real
cross-$prefix/$target, rather than putting them in subdirs of $prefix/lib and
$prefix/include as we currently do.  PTC for the gcc-4 cygport file if you
want to help!  (I was planning to make the same one serve for both builds by
defining a bash shell variable to tell it whether to build cygwin or mingw
compilers.)

    cheers,
