Almost all windows testing i did over the years is through mingw + wine.
If that doesnt work anymore, then i cannot (easily) test windows anymore.

Someone else should in this case do that testing in the future.
That means in practice, testing as many patches as possible and HEAD
bisecting found issues and reporting them to the developers whos commits
where the first to show an issue.

Thanks
