Frank Richter was able to compile our latest release for mingw, without 
any bigger problem. However he simply commented out the xml loading/saving 
parts.

The release versions worked nicely. You just have to compile them as 
static libraries instead of .dlls

Why do you need pthreads? Doesn't SDL provide native win32 threading

ok. Maybe Frank is able to compile the next release again. Or maybe my 
friends and me will decide to do another LAN, in this case I'd try 
building the win versions myself, but at the moment I'm not really 
motivated to reboot from linux :)
