i'm attached a rewrite mingw32-macros.mingw32 which works and now
libxml2 build.
i also added MINGW_CFLAGS and MINGW_CXXFLAGS to be able to overwrite
default flags.
what's the current policy for packages accepted for fedora? should i
open a new bugzilla entry, add to the original review request or post it
here?
