Please don't. I can understand that you don't want to support
anything Microsoft obviously doesn't want to support (it's hard
enough to support what they support). But that's from the (narrow)
perspective of building an alternative Win32 application development
environment (i.e. supporting the published Win32 API).

When you're implementing alternatives for Win32 platform libraries, 
like Wine and ReactOS are doing it's a different matter. But I agree
those are no 'ordinary users'. Personally I'd like to see MinGW support
this type of development as well.
