Hi Andreas,

Right now I'm using the v1.0 branch of the mingw-w64 project. I wasn't
able to find a ./configure option in the mingw-w64 files called
'--enable-secure-api'. According to the mingw-w64 SVN this option is
only available in the trunk branch. The file msctf.h is also only
available in the trunk branch.

I'm okay with switching to the trunk branch, but I don't know how stable
the trunk branch is at the moment and whether compatibility-breaking
changes are expected in the coming months. Perhaps the mingw-w64
maintainers (who are also joined on the fedora-mingw mailing list) can
respond to that?

Kind regards,
