You don't know what you are talking about. Do you actually use mingw to build 
Freetype at all? I do. I have been building Freetype dll very regularly with 
the mingw toolchain for a couple of years. The Fontval windows backend is a 
Freetype dll. Does not need those header hacks. Those hacks are only needed for 
use with Microsoft compilers.
