I forget who the mingw guy is but I've never really gotten it to work
(haven't kept after it once I got a bash prompt). Who was asking about mingw
recently?

The other thing we might change: I noticed not long ago that

I've never done this, assuming if this is the Windows convention brltty
would do this automatically. If I start doing it now will it mess up the
way the subversion brltty is built? And if it's the best idea for
windows,
shouldn't it be the default in the first place?
IIRC it poses problem with unix (and hence cygwin) systems.
The mingw case is a bit tricky, because MSYS tools use paths conventions
(/c/Programs files) which mingw programs don't understand, and then
--prefix completely fails. Enabling relocatable install may then be
a good idea (and it will be enabled in the binary zip that will be
provided for 3.8 anyway).
Could you double-check that --enable-relocatable-install works really
fine under mingw?
