Hi Maurilio,

> what are the differences between mingw and dragon media?

tdragon release is easy to setup/install, while mingw 
is extremely time-consuming and frustrating experience 
(and it doesn't get any better with newer versions).

tdragon was also more agile in releasing usable packages
(now at gcc 4.4.1), official mingw tend to wait years between 
releases (recently released 4.4.0, but was stuck at 3.4.5 
for many many years)

tdragon has sjlj default unwinding, with dwarf-2 as easy 
to install option, while official 4.4.0 is fixed to dwarf-2, 
previous releases fixed to sjlj. (important for QT in 
regards of Harbour). Note that dwarf-2 in tdragon has 
special tool postfix.

tdragon has a usable homepage, mingw has the most 
frustrating (and broken) homepage of all open source projects 
we have to interface with in regards of Harbour.

Besides unwinding, from a C programmers POV they seem 
pretty much identical, but I personally haven't done 
any side-by-side speed / executable size / etc comparison, 
theoretically they should be pretty close as well.

Brgds,
Viktor
