I don;t think we need separation by msvc/mingw, it should be more like separation by libs. Some libs can't be compiled by mingw (e.g. python) and some can't be compiled by msvc (e.g. ffmpeg). And if library doesn't use some special stuff like C++, OpenMP or so i shouldn't be necessary no separate compilation and separating libraries in svn will just lead to storing the same libs twice. If you want to upgrade some library, you migh just ask guys to test them with mingw, but it sohuldn't be i want upgrade some lib for msvc but i don't care about mingw aproach,
