FWIW, I just got a reply from the mingw list. Because msvcrt
is distributed with the OS, and msvcr7 is not, GPL
compatibility becomes an issue. Specifically, mingw exploits
a specific clause in the GPL which allows dependencies on
"components of the OS". MSVCRT qualifies here, but MSVCR7
doesn't. So I don't think mingw will support building DLLs
which use MSVCR7 for the forseeable future :-(

Paul.
