I also like the idea, but am terrified of the torrent of "It worked with
gcc-2.95.2 and cygwin beta 1.1 [sic]" complaints.  Also I'm not sure
that all of "my" packages are _WIN32 clean.  (For the most part, if they
compiled -- I was happy.  I didn't look too closely beyond that.  I know
that zlib and libpng are WIN32 clean 'cause I tested them with
-mno-win32.  Dunno *for sure* about the rest).
