Any active maintainers using MinGW/MSYS?

Wow.  Well, this explains things.  I was wondering my 'make' is so awry on 
mingw.  It follows the general rule I've found in cross-platform 
development is that if the developers don't use a platform, you'll find 
more bugs on said platform.

Just to make sure:  there's no developers/maintainers on the 
address@hidden list who actively or routinely use 'make' on mingw/msys?

As for my project: mingw/msys builds are probably going to take a back seat 
to mingw cross-compiles on Debian now.  I'm glad you provided this info 
Paul; this saves me a lot of potential time.
