If you create a setup.hint file with a: curr mingw-runtime-NNNNNN.tar.bz2 it will override the mingw name from the directory. I don't know how that solves any problems, though. There will still be an orphaned 'mingw' on people's systems. This is functionally equivalent to renaming the directory, I think. cgf
