Re: mingw compilation of base broken

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi Fred,

exactly: the same mingw but some older (I don't know how old) version of 
GNUstep kept DataBasin running an exporting in windows CP. Perhaps 
something in the configure script changed. II should try to make a 
minimal test program perhaps.

Sadly, I can't do any work on this for a week.
