Bring the package up to date source code-wise and incoporating the 13 upstream
mingw patches, and switching the exception model are two different issues - the
former is easy (and I already did it with the tarball I posted). The latter I
know is a bit tricky. 

OTOH, I have 39 of mingw32-* packages on my system and only 4 have a sjlj-1.dll
dependence (from "rpm -q --whatrequires 'mingw32(libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll)'") -
mostly libraries written in c++ or one with a non-c binding. A majority of
mingw32 packages currently available from fedora 11 are not affected if a
switch is made - you just need to rebuild *some* packages, and a minority, I
think.

I think a switch should be made *eventually*, especially now that the mingw
project itself has switched to dw2. Maybe for the f12 time frame? - should I
file that separately?
