Description

Would there be any interest in some patches to the various configure.ac and Makefile.am files to support building on Windows XP using MinGW?

Our product uses Libxml2, libcurl, OpenSSL and Apache httpd (among others) and on Windows these are all built with MinGW and MSYS. In order to get Axis2/C to play well with the other libraries (DLLs) I've had to modify the autoconf/automake to support building with MinGW (as well as some minor code changes).

If I posted the changes in a patch as an attachment to this issue would it be of any interest/use to anyone?
