Package: mingw32
Version: 3.4.2.20040916.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Please could you link all the binaries into /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin,
e.g. /usr/bin/i586mingw32msvc-gcc --> /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin/gcc?

This would make it easier to use some build systems by just setting a
prefix for all paths (/usr --> /usr/i586-mingw32msvc), so that systems
that do something like:

BINPATH = $prefix/bin
LIBPATH = $prefix/lib
INCPATH = $prefix/include

&c. The rest of the mingw32 package is nicely set up for this to work,
and indeed some of the binaries are already hard linked as I'd like
(e.g. strip and dlltool).

BTW, thanks very much for this package, it's great being able to
develop for Windows under Linux!
