I may be wrong though. Hence the query... > Great! It would be nice to get it working with more recent versions of MinGW. Cross-compilation implies that it's on a system with working Python, so one could use jhbuild... in which case, why use the rather clunky shell scripts? BTW, while trying to build on Win7 the last couple of days I noticed that the versions of the various packages are scattered about along with their download URLs. I think it would be nicer if they were in their own block near the top of defaults.sh.
