 Yes, this was exactly what I planned to do and I just did it quickly and
it seems to work fine, it's nice how reusable install_miscellanea.make is.
Please find the patch against the latest svn trunk, i.e. r6052, attached.

 FWIW (and taking into account your next message), this option is still
used in mpatrol-mingw-GNUmakefile which seems to be used by
install_mpatrol.make -- but I didn't really look into it, as per above.

 On a related note, I really hope that by the time lmi switches to a modern
g++, MinGW will integrate support for at least address sanitizer, it's a
great tool under Linux and OS X which is almost as useful as Valgrind but
vastly faster to use. And then mpatrol could finally be sent to the dustbin
of (software) history...
