Hi,

Any objections against removing on master the code that allowed to build LO
for Windows on Linux via MinGW?

I think it is generally considered a failed attempt by now, and I assume the
code is already rotting.  But there is still code around which occasionally
becomes the target of fruitless maintenance, see e.g. 
<https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f8e77c0894f5eb4495edb79a387f0deb63830226>
"Revert 'tdf#99589 tolower changed to rtl::toAsciiLowerCase'".

By a coincidence, I was thinking about sending the same mail. Just my
reasoning was oriented on the build system: all the MinGW-specific bits
in gbuild/configure and additional patches for external projects. So I
am all for the removal.
