Hi Brian,

I've heard this mentioned before. I was wondering: is there some "master
list" of what these issues are, with links to any relevant patches?
Would this be on the mingw wiki? Bug list? Somewhere else? Basically, so
other people who aren't closely familiar with the problem can see it in
detail.

Thanks,
Eric
