Hi Gilles,
Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately as I noted in #360 I don't
have a good test environment with MinGW/MSYS, so I can't effectively
test any patches at the moment.
Do you have a solution for #360? If so, I'll incorporate the fix into
trunk.
As for the other issues, if you are able to look into them and submit a
patch, I will happily merge it, but if not it may be some time until I
have a chance to look into it further.
Thanks,
Ryan
