That's right, but when one installs the "GNUstep dev env" under Windows,
it gives him a compiler and a bunch of libraries, so we can (IMHO)
expect that he didn't have anything to start with before, am I wrong?
Else he would only install GNUstep from source, and not the big
MinGW+Msys+libraries+gnustep package, wouldn't he?

I may be wrong, but I can't find a case where one would like to install
mingw and msys while already having some up-to-date libjpg libs and
headers in the right place on his windows box.

I really should create a script to update from CVS and recompile on
msys. This would be easier to test recent versions on win32.

Well, it doesn't sound abnormal to me, but I read many times that
gnustep remembers detached submenus' position, and that it was
guaranteed to the user. I don't mind the windows behaviour, but a
newcomer that read the same thing could be disappointed. If it's normal
and wanted behaviour, I have nothing against it, but we should mention
it somewhere, IMHO.
