Fwd: MinGW Updates [Win32]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Guys,
I received the following messages, directly from Alex Jones.

Alex,
Please don't mail me directly; you are subscribed to MinGW-Dvlpr, so
please use it.  That way, everyone gets to know what you are planning
to work on, so can both offer advice, and avoid duplicating your work.

. . .

Morning Keith. We have been emailing back & forth for a little while.
But want to start helping with MinGW. Willing to help anywhere needed.
But prefer to work with Windows API/Runtime updates. Started looking
at existing tickets. Want to help with the following tickets:

   - #2236 Touch and gestures functionality
     - Assume I need a Microsoft touch device e.g. Microsoft Surface
   - #2230 GetLayout() missing in w32api libgdi32.a
   - #2274 Various modern Win32 API definitions missing
   - #2262 [patch] add Registry API functions and macros introduced
     in Windows Vista

Would like to add the following tickets also:
   - Add ODS_HOTLIGHT [0x40] in winuser.h
   - Add QWORD [#define QWORD DWORD64]

Please let me know how to set up my development environment to most
efficiently help with MinGW tickets. E.g. Git/VirtualBox/MinGW/...

. . .

Morning Keith. Sent you an email about getting my environment setup to
efficiently help with any MinGW ticket. Willing to do whatever is
needed. Prefer Windows API/Direct3D/DDK/OpenGL/OpenMP updates. Wanted
to know why OpenMP is not supported with latest MinGW. See mingw32-gcc
is version 4.9.3. Which means it supports OpenMP 4.0. But there is no
omp.h in my distribution. Even after I install pthreads-w32. Assume it
wasn't popular with MinGW users. Want to be involved in bringing this
back to MinGW. Because I use it.

. . .

Keith.
