I have completed the modification suggested by sb but I am facing two serious 
issues and I cannot come up with the new patch set without fixing them.
Moreover, my cygwin tools are not working smoothly these days and complete 
build with mingw as well as MSVC7 takes HUGE time. ( SIGH ... )

The issues are as follows:

1 Patch to system headers
Many WIN32API's are missing in mingw system headers and I have been supplying  
supplementary patches. However, it might not be regitimate if the API is not 
published somewhere.
Therefore, I limited the patch to mingw headers to be small and clearly 
regitimate. Instead, I am going to supply modification patches to make 
Microsoft headers compatible with mingw basic headers and mingw gcc in case 
large set of API's are required.

2 Structured Exception Handling
Some windows modules are using SEH. These modules except bridges are intended 
to catch Win32 exceptions. I was replacing them with mingw C++ exception 
catching but it makes no sense.
I do not know good way to handle Win32 exceptions but tentatively I wrote code 
using setjmp/longjump. It may cause memory leak but throwing mingw C++ 
exceptions within Windows system callbacks may be dangerous.
It may require so many tests.

It will take more than a week to comfirm and upload my new patch set. Thank 
you for your patience!

Regards,
