For the reason in the first paragraph, I proposed the change ;-)  From what I 
know, MinGW's gcc is not binary compatible with MSVC (I have no direct source 
of information though, just things like 
http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.mingw.user/2002-07/msg00060.html, and 
http://www.mingw.org/phpwiki-1.3.14/index.php/MSVC-MinGW-DLL).

If it is true, the extensions would have to be built for MinGW OOo anew - then 
I think using --without-stlport as the default for MinGW would be better if 
it saves some burden with STLport, and if it works ;-)

Regards,
Jan
