It's illegal to redistribute SFU. That's a showstopper. Mingw creates

It's illegal and that will never change. I had this idea a year or so ago 
when the new version of SFU came out, but MS' draconian licensing is too 
restrictive to make SFU of any use.

It would probably work, but it's a legal problem, not a tecnhical problem
