Hi JonY

Strangely, I tried again and it worked. Not sure what happenend here, 
but I'm happy, anyway. Possibly installing Qt (open source) may have 
changed my configuration.

Anyway, FWIW I now have binaries of Coin3D and SoQt that can be used 
with MinGW (GCC 3.4.5) at the following location, perhaps they may be of 
use to someone.
