sorry i haven't much time to mess with it, i needed it for a brief thing, 
and i have a working mingw build.


some thoughts:

why is it optimized anyway ?    wouldn't a debug build be sufficient, then 
when a crash occurs and Windows offers to debug/send M$ a report :(  i can 
hit debug and find the problem.   as a tool i thought it would be more 
important to have it working reliably, instead of fast.
or  what about using -O0 (no optimz) for tools, as i have a feeling that 
compilers tend to get non-optimized code more right then optimized code.
