That's funny: I just found the build directions myself and it matches with 
above. :-)

I will probably build with the MinGW compiler, with the older version.

I'm used to building the gcc toolchain on a regular basis. This takes a 
significant amount of time to build too.

Let me know how it turns out.

FYI, my mother-in-law is in the hospital; she just got her hip replaced 
(scheduled surgery). So today we will be busy with visiting her, plus I have to 
take care of stuff around the house, and getting ready for a snow storm that's 
coming in. In other words: I'll have to try this out later, maybe tonight or 
tomorrow.
