FWIW, the mingwm10.dll is not really a "dll" in the classic sence,
i.e. it's not a separate library. It's better seen as a hack to
allow thread-safe exceptions. The MinGW people tried hard to find
a better way, but the only way to (mis-)use the Win32 API to suppot
custom thread-safe exception was by using some DLL calls.

This is very strange, but it is the only reason for which some
mingw-cross-env compiled applications would need that one extra
DLL files. No other DLL files should be required.

(Well, there's another exception when using the libUSB, but
 that's another story. ;-))
