I compiled proper GNU GCC 4.0.0, and just installed over my MinGW 
precompiled package (after backing up, of course :D), so it just uses 
the same headers (exluding GNU's of course, no problems yet). I'm pretty 
sure the MS __int64 ext. is a GCC thing, not a MinGW thing. Im just 
guessing, though, since this is my work computer. Still, I _seriously_ 
doubt that the MinGW guys (and/or girls?) will pull any of those in 
future releases.

PS: do I need to put line ends on these messages? Thunderbird auto
flows to 80 columns, does it also add breaks?
