Hi all,

This is a message for those who used or contributed to the cross compiler
packages available from this URL:

 http://mirzam.it.vu.nl/mingw/

Quoting myself from that page:

 I have decided to stop maintaining these packages. The original incentive
 to create these packages was to be able to build Wine's test suite as PE
 executables on Fedora. Wine recently changed its build system to use Wine's
 own headers and import libraries when cross compiling the test suite, which
 means that the mingw-w32api package (where most of the action was) is no
 longer needed. 

 Another reason is that I'm moving towards Ubuntu as my main development
 platform.

 -Hans
