I haven't seen any activity on the above email, and I am curious if:
1) It was missed (and this really does affect people)
2) Nobody cross-compiles using the mingw32-* ports (it is really very
handy!)
3) Nobody really cares that mingw32-gcc will move from 3.4.5 --> 4.2.0
Please, if this affects you test out the above port tarball! Otherwise,
this will end up going in and not take into account any problems that
might arise in your environment.

I just saw that this message is about two years old, and that the commit
must have been made years ago.
Sorry for the noise.
Thanks. It was handled off-line and we did the upgrade.
Still, the mingw32 port is really rather impressive. When I first
thought of cross compiling for Windows, I started by reading the online
documentation at the mingw32 web sites. It was quite unreadable, giving
one no place to start. I still wouldn't know how to cross compile for
Windows under Linux.
By contrast, the mingw32 ports in FreeBSD simply worked out of the box,
and it was a tremendous relief to see how effective and simple it was.
