Thanks for testing.

I'm just about to add a (32-bit) MinGW build slave (boar). The bot
didn't run through all tests just yet, but that box ran through all of
them just fine, before, so I'm surprised you're reporting such a
problem. A smoke test of 'mtn au get_base_revision_id' seems to work
fine for me as well.

The mtn.exe there reports:

That'd be great as well, yes. I won't have time to go through compiling
all the dependencies again for 64-bit.

Hm.. I just let the setup process update catalogs. Not sure what
"release" I'm running. How do I check?

Can you run your mtn.exe from a debugger to see what's wrong (or get a
core dump, if such a thing exists on Windows)?

I played a bit with mingw-w64. Doesn't seem all that different to me,
but I obviously didn't go through a complete build, yet.

I recently updated the Windows build documentation a bit and would
appreciate a review.
