It seems quite plain to me? I wonder if Giah could run the same script 
or use the same flags.

I'd stick for mingw for now. I follow development and mingw-64 vs mingw 
is not without friction. MinGW is quite proven, I wonder if it will 
continue to be easy to have both, I hope so.

About the installer, I'm neutral, what we have works and appears to 
continue to work !
