from my viewpoint, it seems to crawl ;-)

I've fixed this in tonight's patch (and since I keep overlooking cross
compiles) added a check for cross-compiles to my regression builds.
Since I've more than one VM setup with mingw cross-compilers, I've
also a to-do to investigate building the dll's there. (On my Windows 7,
there's work needed to incorporate Juergen's changes there - just a lot
of things to work through...).

I addressed this shortly after your email, since I ran into the same
issue testing with eCS.
