Great summary, thanks for clearing that up.
After all, I was happy to find that I could check out 3.3 and build a
perfectly usable mingw compiler.
Now for the purposes of testing 3.3 I won't be installing any mingw-local
patches. I keep a single source tree for all my builds. Also the point
of submitting test results here is to validate a GCC release, not
Mingw's or anyone elses. Besides I no longer have the time to contribute
directly to Mingw or subscribe to their mailing list.
For the sake of any discussion on this mailing list I'm going to assume
unpatched GCC sources unless stated otherwise.

Well said.
