Thanks, but I can't use this as is.  You've got an ! entry in there
that needs investigating, and you didn't correct the metadata.  Please
see the instructions at

This is a case for auditing the contents of the headers as well as
their presence. I hesitate to open up that rabbit hole because I know
it'll be a ton of work, but if I had some collaborators, I definitely
think it would be worth it ultimately.

I only did mingw, not mingw64.

Similar inventories for library functions and so on might make sense.
I don't want to write the code for it myself -- I've already blown a
month and a half on this -- but I'd certainly consider patches that
added additional scans and tables.
