I'd prefer that we state that we can have libstdc++ as a dll now, but
we don't by default.  If people want it, they can generate it using that
script.

Oh, they are real.

Believe it or not, I don't know the best approach :)
Danny Smith is making progress on this on the MinGW/gcc side.
I would prefer to do what they do on MinGW land.  I think he just
released a gcc-4.2 based compiler for MinGW.  I'll have to take a
look at their local patches.  Maybe the problems are fixed some other
way other than always using libstdc++ and libgcc as dlls.

Done.

My English parser didn't quite grasp this last sentence.  :)  If you are
talking about the prefix thing for dlls, absolutely.
