send the patches on the ML, please. I'll take care of them (well i'll
be away for 5 days, so don't expect them to hit svn immediatly). I
prefer the ML instead of a private mail.

I don't use MingW, I use mingw-w64. A LOT better. And as I said, just
install the EFL in their own dir, it's sufficient.

I won't let MinGW devs know about that problem as they won't do
anything anyway about dlfcn-win32. I've already dealt with them, with
patches, etc... I have patches in their bugzilla that I sent 6 or 7
years ago... So I gave up.

The problem with Windows is that there is no centralized package
system. The only viable solution is to install a project, an
application, etc... in its own directory.

best regards
