That's certainly true, though it does count for something if it's also
"good enough" for your use case :)

What do you recommend - MinGW and MSYS, supplemented by your ezwinports?
(Sorry if that question doesn't make sense - I'm not very familiar with
the relationships between MinGW, MSYS, ezwinports, MSYS2, etc.)

Thanks
