OK, if everything is backported you get the current version... I agree this
does not make sense. But this has a maintained status, which gives people a
false sense of security. You build all the libraries, then the application does
not work. It rather could be nice to take a look what had been wrong in the old
version, and I don't know how to do it (as you mentioned the patch is large).

Cygwin has 4.5 as a test version, installing it takes a click. But still, it is
a test version.

Nightly build of gfortran did not work for me (it failed to compile LAPACK if I
remember correctly).
