You mentionend some time ago that you crosscompile for windows on opensuse. 
Does the crosscompile work in such a way that
you can chose the library versions for the windows target arbitrarily? Or are 
the library versions bound by the current version you have
on the opensuse host system? 

Would it make sense to say that we support certain distributions like

macports
debian 7 (old stable)
debian 8 (current stable)
debian sid (unstable)

? If you have the free choice for your library versions, could you then select 
a set of library versions such that they are the same as
in one of the above distributions? Or maybe some other distribution that is 
more convenient for you such as opensuse 13.2?
