It would be interesting if ActiveState has actually switched to using 
MinGW.  GraphicsMagick can be compiled for MinGW, but without the 
parts which depend on proprietary Microsoft C++ libraries.  These 
parts (GUI and ImageMagickObject DLL) were already removed from the 
setup installer for the CVS HEAD version.

I have achieved excellent success with the TDM version of MinGW which 
can be downloaded from "http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/".  However, 
if ActiveState is compiled with "MinGW", it may be compiled with older 
MinGW which uses a GCC 3.X version.
