I think what you do is a wonderful thing. Hopefully, you'll eventually use us for win32 and win64, and keep the other stuff as legacy :) Anything that we can do to help, let us know. We've worked well for a while now supporting each other, and I hope to continue. I know I've been trying to twist your arm into becoming a project member here :) On that note, if you ever want to do so, we'd love to have you. You can even host your binaries in the Personal section like sezero does, and link directly to them from your site. It'll let you save on hosting/bandwidth, at the very least, and give your users access to a boatload of mirrors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
