I meant to ask what in the new runtime do we depend on or benefit from
compared to the old.
Currently the new runtime seems to implement all the old functions.
Some of the new functionality are:
- Run-time function parameter validation
- "ll" (long long) size support for printf and long long type
- Some compatibility updates: atoi(), snprintf() family, errno
handling, fopen(), open(), ....
- All the not documented bug fixes .... :-)
Today there is no special need of the new runtime. But it will be
mandatory for a full 64 bit Windows binary. (but this is a still
remote problem, there some other problem to solve before .... ).

Cool. Wasn't aware that MinGW has such complete toolchain.
Only some optimization in configure and in lib files is still needed.

Guido
