Yes, I know, but -mno-cygwin should be a noop in that case. And if
someone has cygwin installed, it will ensure that Visual-MinGW is
not linked against the cygwin libs. I think we are in agreement here
that Visual-MinGW should not depend on cygwin, no? If so, it makes
sense to make this explicit with -mno-cygwin.

OK, I can create a new patch for you.

I can certainly do that, but then they will drift appart.
The ideal situation is to support both mingw and wine out
of the same makefile, so that everything "just works".
If makefile is generated by Visual-MinGW, I think it's worth
modifying Visual-MinGW so that it generates the right makefile
for both mingw and wine, don't you think so? This way, all
programs that use Visual-MinGW can benefit from this support.
