I haven't seen any activity on the above email, and I am curious if:
  1) It was missed (and this really does affect people)
  2) Nobody cross-compiles using the mingw32-* ports (it is really very 
handy!)
  3) Nobody really cares that mingw32-gcc will move from 3.4.5 --> 4.2.0

Please, if this affects you test out the above port tarball! Otherwise, 
this will end up going in and not take into account any problems that 
might arise in your environment.
