Re: Reconsideration of MinGW work

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

I was under the impression that Windows users would often prefer
software that requires “only” MinGW, as opposed to the more heavyweight
Cygwin.  From that point of view a MinGW port seems to be useful,
especially if Guile does part of the OS abstraction job that Cygwin
does.

I agree that portability tricks should primarily be directed to Gnulib.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
