The work Rene has done with the cross compilation is great, but I
think we need to minimize the number of -required- external

Here is my suggestion for a solution:
- Check unowinreg.dll back into the repository and use it by default
without recompilation on all platforms.
- Include a configure switch that forces recompilation of the DLL. On
win32 this uses the standard compiler, on !win32 mingw32.

+1 that is exactly the solution i have in mind and i have initially
assumed that it would be solved in this way and that the cross
compilation is only an option for people who can't live with the
precompiled dll.
No, in the issue you opposed cross-compiling in general and questioned the sense
to build it at all.
i meant cross compilation in this special case for this library because
i am still thinking that it is not necessary but i can understand your
opinion.
That's not exactly the solution Kai proposed and neither is that how you
reacted in
the issue.
If my comments sound to unfriendly in the issue and even in this thread
please forgive me ;-)
Of course, if you now changed your mind and think that cross-compiling does
make sense,
good...
i can live with a new configure option to cross compile the library or
compile it where possible (wntmsci10) but it shouldn't be the default. I
think that the suggested solution by Kai is a good compromise.
Do we now all agree to the suggested solution and if yes who will take
care of the issue?
