Hi:

Since Gambit prebuild with mingw is easy to install and DevCpp from http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html , which embeds gcc 3.4.2 is also easy, would it be possible to combine them with the goal of easing setup for the mingw-challenged such as yours truly? And I should ask if this is feasible or a hopeless hack?

The experiment below almost worked but it needs to satisfy Gambit's os.c which is looking for htonl and other winsock functions. These are found in libwsock32.a
