I was unclear about that in my own head, and it threw off the thread. 
It's hard to reel back one's own misconceptions.

I searched for mingw and windowsy-sounding places on usenet and didn't 
get much from the forum I posted on. I wasn't intending to make a career 
out of this. I'd be glad to hear of any ng's where gcc or mingw were 
more topical.

I disagree with you that my mingw install is broken. The one I'm trying 
to link to is hot off the presses, but there's 3 others on this machine 
that have altered paths and the like. One less tonight. What strikes me 
is how different they are in their architecture.
