Outstanding issues I'm aware of:

- FFI.  A Windows release needs a working ffihugs, and we also need
  the modules that use the FFI to work.  This is probably mostly just a
  matter of testing.  However foreign import wrappers compiled with MinGW
  don't seem to work with the MSVC-compiled WinHugs.  (They're used by
  the Win32, OpenGL and GLUT packages.)  I don't see how we'll fix that.

- User's Guide entry for WinHugs.

Does the WinHugs bundle include plain hugs and runhugs?  What libraries
are in the big bundle?

Are you generating fresh libraries (using MinGW) for your bundles?
