Hi Martin,

I'll have a look at it again and formulate a proper merge proposal. A
fair amount of time has passed, and we may be able to use the
mingw-w64 32-bit headers instead of the mingw32 ones (though we can
actually use both if you have clock cycles to burn).

There is another option - use make's "include" functionality to
override some specific rules. This isn't as silly as it sounds, make
has some deep magic that is more robust than merging.

This is better left to early in the release cycle (see next message).

Cheers,

Tony
