Well, then I'll try to shrink my reports to things that are related to
MinGW. If a general compile problem stays for a while (1-2-3 days) and
gets unnoticed, I'll let you know, because it may be MinGW related.
I'll try to find the cause sometimes, but I'm doing MPlayer
development for fun when I have time and because I don't have much
free time, I'll try to focus on my driver - that's what brings joy for
me :)
