OK tried it on Windows and here some things I noticed:
- endless loop while parsing --dwarf
- no download progess when downloading toolchain
- x86_64 is installed into mingw32/
after manually installed mingw32/64 it starts configuring
- /d/ is hardcodes mingw path
- why not call it gcc-4.7-branch like for 4.7.1
- how to disable SLJL(enable SEH) for x64? (--disable-sjlj-exceptions)
- no verbose option
- build folders are under /
- no multithreaded builds
Don't get it wrong this is only nitpicking, overall your scripts
work very well, I didn't tough it could be that simple to build
mingw on windows.
But I've stopped using Windows when I saw how slow the configure
process is for for GCC, too slow to figure out things by trying
different configuration.

Yes, this would be great. I had a look at Ruben's github code,
and it looks like it is only for personal use only: no readme,
no automatic source download (e.g. were to set LIBICONV_VERSION?),
not usable out of the box.
