Source will be required as this work has not been done yet. Regards, Dave.

I realize this probably won't get done before the 8.0.2 final release, so I'm not trying to be pushy, but would it be helpful if someone else were to do the work to include the files? If you're interested in the help, I'm could switch over from being the squeaky wheel to being the one who applies the grease. :-) -greg

I wonder if it is really sensible to include all backend includes. People might think they can easily develop backend modules with any compiler, which I doubt will be supported thoroughly. Second, somebody who has mingw installed won't have a problem to unzip those backend sources too; compiling the backend is a good test if everything's working as expected. So I'd suggest to leave backend includes out of the std distribution, or at least make a distinctively selectable (non-default) package from it. Regards, Andreas
