Yeah. I would vote for removing that code in all branches. There is no
reason to suppose somebody is going to install 8.4.22 on a machine that
they haven't updated mingw on since 2003. Or, if you prefer, just remove
it in HEAD --- but going around and *adding* more copies seems like
make-work. The fact that we've not heard complaints about the omissions
is good evidence that nobody's using the buggy mingw versions anymore.
