This is the worst sort of Microsoft imperialism that I hoped we'd not be
succumbing to by having a Windows port :-(.  "If it doesn't work on
Windows then the rest of you have to give up functionality."  How about
filing a bug report against the Mingw breakage, instead of expecting us
to try to work around it?
