Hi Ben
I guess it is easier if Michel has the ability to create a working version, maybe as a proof of concept. (My work for the cygwin setup showed me that there is a big differences for a program on a Linux platform or on a Windows platform.) When work arounds are used, you can see what and how many issues need a solution. It is still possible that he finds some unsolvable problem. Fortunately it looks as if all issues are solvable. And in potention the MinGW installation is better as the Cygwin installation. Let us see what happens.
Have fun

I really do think that --enable-relocatable is a full solution
for this. If there are problems with it, then please do report
them and we will do our best to fix them.
