--- Comment #4 from Damjan Jovanovic damjan.jov@gmail.com 2007-11-25 23:56:30 --- It makes it possible to use wine's DLLs on Windows for testing and such. Wininet already supports being built with mingw, it would be a shame to lose that. My patches got mingw building with both wine and mingw (I had #ifdef sections which use poll on Linux and select on Windows), but for some reason they weren't accepted.
