The start of the latest thread was back in November [1], but you can
search the archives [2] for more background. I've pushed the changeset
to bitbucket [3] for easy viewing.

The three main issues were [4]:
1. Overhead of multiple runtimes (supporting both mingw.org and mingw-w64)
2. Mingw-w64's (apparent) preference for multi-lib configuration
3. Simplicity and coherence of design in mingw-cross-env

I subsequently discovered that 2 was a following-the-docs-too-closely
issue, and this could potentially make 1 a non-issue, but there's
still the simplicity which eludes me.

Cheers,

Tony
