Isn't this stuff for the installer? But we could also set the flags in os_win32/os_cgwin, but I can't do it before this evening. Therefore, if LyX is really released today and we use my patch, then someone should just commit it. Maybe we should move the common code into a new file, os_win.cpp, and include this one in the other two files. -- Peter Kümmel
