+MinGW cross compiler for Linux build environment
+
+As of this writing, the MinGW Project does not support any official
+build of GCC, more recent than GCC-3.4.5, for use as a cross hosted
+MinGW development tool, on any platform. This is unlikely to change,
+until after an officially supported stable GCC-4.x version has been
+released, for native use on the MS-Windows platform.
+
+This slackbuild will compile MinGW with
+ GCC: 3.4.5
+ Binutils: 2.20.1
+ MinGW Runtime: 3.18
+ W32Api: 3.14
+
+GCC packages included are:
+ ada (no)
+ c++ (yes)
+ f77 (yes)
+ java (yes)
+ objc (yes)
+
+If you're planning to compile MinGW with different versions of the
+packages, like GCC-4.4.0 (stable), you might download them before in
+a specified directory. In this case you might want to modify the
+configuration file "x86-mingw32-build.sh.conf".
+
+Moreover, if you're planning to disable/enable some GCC package, like
+disabling "java" or "objc", just modify the configuration file
+"x86-mingw32-build.sh.conf" commenting or not the corresponding lines,
+which are very easy to find.
+Actually "ada" gave me some problem and I disabled it from this
+SlackBuild.
