           Summary: Allow building with mingw32
           Product: Xen
           Version: unstable
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: winpv
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Building the drivers with mingw32 would completely put to rest any licensing
issues based on the Windows WDK/DDK's EULA. However, mingw does not support
WDF, so we would need to undertake the unpleasant task of reverting to raw WDM.
This would primarily impact xenpci.
