If the mingw folks can agree on what they want to call it, I am happy to
make the changes to config.guess.  My point to Kai is just that I am not
willing to add another variant of "mingw" if the mingw project members
do not even acknowledge it.


I think the FAQ entry I quoted makes it clear that they have settled
on "mingw" as the platform name.  How can we confirm this and move on
so that "mingw" becomes the accepted target?  Is there someone to
contact from the mingw community?  The link is here:
