I'm really just pointing out Cygwin as rationale for preferring windows-*.c as file name instead of mingw-*. In my mind, given this is a Windows/PE feature, not specific of mingw, the file naming would reflect that. That is, name the files for what they are, not for how they're used today. If the Cygwin guys at some point want to link in the resources, then it'd be a no brainer to tweak configure. If the files are called mingw-*, then such a change would be kind of awkward without a file rename. But this is really bike shedding, not worth spending more cycles on it. If you guys prefer mingw, then let's go with it. -- Pedro Alves
