I can try testing it, as Cygwin and MSYS are the standard systems I use.
What is necessary to test it?

Incidentally, here and throughout, when talking about MinGW are you talking
about MinGW running on Cygwin (which I don't use) or the standalone MinGW
running on MSYS (which I do use)?

* `mmc --make' does not work with MinGW


It does on my version of MinGW, built with MSYS - there it is mmake that
does not work.

I'll try to get .NET 2.0 and test (on mercury-0.12.2).  I will generate a
few samples as Peter suggested and post them to Mono/DotGnu lists.  However,
I think mid-March is much too soon to expect results.

* test MSVC support


I'd be happy to, but I'll need to get the platform SDK.
