I am not, but I am sure if I understand you correctly.
Is your plan to build mingw packages as part of building Fedora packages
within the Fedora build system? If yes, I am opposed to doing this.
I'm a bit confused by this. You are aware that we are planning to
build lots of mingw packages in Fedora (using the build system) to
enable cross-compilation? This has been discussed to death already,
and approved, so it shouldn't be news to anyone.

Is your plan to add support to your ocaml package to enable you to
reuse
your ocaml Fedora rpm.specs to build mingw package outside of Fedora?
I'd consider this to be "your private pleasures" and to be "outside
of
Fedora's business".
No, I would like to build the cross-compiler from the ocaml.spec,
instead of doing a separate review request for a new mingw32-ocaml
package. (Plus the libraries too as mentioned in the original email).
