Re: [patch 4.5]: Add -municode to mingw targets

Hi Kai,

this patch adds an -municode switch to mingw targets. By specifying
this switch the macro UNICODE gets defined and instead of crt2.o the
crt2u.o object file will be used for startup.

This is just a change that affects the mingw-w64's runtime, correct? If so, this has the possibility of being substantially confusing for mingw.org users, because I do not believe mingw.org has plans to support crt2u.o.

I'm thinking 4.5 might be a good time to make separate targets or separate sub-targets for mingw.org and mingw-w64. Otherwise, implementation differences like this are just going to get more and more painful. What do you think?
