No, I think this way is better, since I build the setup releases on 
Fedora, and so don't have any control about when the w32api package I'm 
building against gets updated

(and furthermore it's an old Fedora at the moment, since the x86 MinGW 
toolchain in recent Fedora isn't built with SJLJ exception handling...)
