What does this do? Is this a compatility layer added by mingw?


I just added a mingw specific config file to CVS:

ray/platform/mingw.cfg:
----------------------------------------------------
# platform specific settings for Windows (mingw)

# where you want everything
[install]
RAD_BASEDIR:   c:\radiance3.6a
RAD_BINDIR:    bin
RAD_RLIBDIR:   share\lib
RAD_MANDIR:    share\man

# shouldn't need any changes
[build]
CC:         gcc
CPPDEFINES: _WIN32 NDEBUG _CONSOLE _MBCS HDSUF=.exe
CCFLAGS:    -O2
LINKFLAGS:  -lws2_32

[debug]
CC:         gcc
CPPDEFINES: _WIN32 _DEBUG _CONSOLE _MBCS HDSUF=.exe
CCFLAGS:    -g
LINKFLAGS:  -lws2_32


# never touch below this
[code]
RAD_SPEED: -DSPEED=200
RAD_ARGSCOMPAT: fixargv0.c
RAD_MATHCOMPAT: erf.c
RAD_MEMCOMPAT:
RAD_PROCESS: win_process.c win_popen.c

----------------------------------------------------

I moved some of your stuff to (hopefully) more appropriate lines,
and also corrected the other Windows config (VC6 and cygwin) in
the same way.

Nothing obvious that I can see here, but of course things could
go wrong in many different ways.

How are they planning to do this? They would have to extend the
system libraries, as far as I can tell.
