Hi All, I sent the email below about a month ago and haven't received any replies about it. Any thoughts? Ronald, I got all of your info about MinGW development (my email to the list on the same day as the one below) so thanks for that, but I hope you'll understand that the main reason I wanted to compile any of this myself in the first place was to mess around with the fun stuff like adding features and items! (:
