That is really awesome. Thanks so much for testing that out.
Can a cross build bzip2 using MinGw (and msys) be run under Wine?
That might give us a build CI pipeline for testing bzip2 using the
buildbot. It might not be identical to running under actual Windows.
But it might be scripted/automated.

Thanks,

Mark
