That would be wonderful, and that's exactly the right place to put it
too. I'm assuming I can persuade one of you to do that? ;-)
I'm going to define pex-win32.c as being within the realm of the mingw
maintainership (if you hadn't assumed that already).

It would still be *available* though, so you could (for example) wrap
your assembler in a shell script for debugging purposes, and gcc could
still run it.
Plus binutils uses it (windres, dlltool), so same minor benefit there.
