Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: [PATCH] Fix cygwin build and simplify feature detection in 'configure' script

There are some of us who use Qemu on Windows hosts (and are horrified about the 
plans to kill off kqemu). I personally use MSYS/MinGW for compiling as it has 
been a lot easier compared to Cygwin/cross-compiling alternative.

I use patches from this site:
http://lassauge.free.fr/qemu/

I also read/contribute to Qemu forums:
http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewforum.php?f=5&sid=3191dc70459e2e998b206e86819cf7e8

I am going start compiling test builds from git and I am also interested in 
seeing what kind of effect the pthreads give to Windows builds.
