Fedora 9 and MingW

[Paul Vriens]

Hi,

I was still using the rpm's that Hans provided in the past. Some 
searching shows:

I've installed these rpm's but the executables use a different naming 
convention: i686-pc-mingw32* instead of what we check for: i686-mingw32*.

Should we add this to our configure?

Looks promising! If Fedora accepts it under that name it's certainly
worthwhile to add it to configure.

FYI, here are the mingw packages which have been submitted for Fedora:
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc...
It will take some time to get them all reviewed and into the system
but you can browse the spec files there.

The gcc spec installs the compiler as {_bindir}/i686-pc-mingw32-gcc.
