Greetings, and thank you all so much!
The test patch that Vadim and I have been working on is this (against
2.6.8pre, i.e. Version_2_6_8pre in cvs):

All that needs doing at the moment is to apply this and test it out,
particularly 'read-char-no-hang.
Longer term, we need testers of 2.7.0, though we have some time for
this.
May I suggest that the recipients of this message consider ourselves
the unofficial mingw support team in the absence of Mike Thomas, and
reply to the whole group if/when we find time to get any results, so
that we do not duplicate effort?
Thank you all again for your interest and support of GCL.
Take care,
