That would be wonderful, and that's exactly the right place to put it too. I'm assuming I can persuade one of you to do that? ;-) I'm going to define pex-win32.c as being within the realm of the mingw maintainership (if you hadn't assumed that already). > It wouldn't be useful generic pure-windows installation, It would still be *available* though, so you could (for example) wrap your assembler in a shell script for debugging purposes, and gcc could still run it. Plus binutils uses it (windres, dlltool), so same minor benefit there.
