What does that mean? I did see it buried in the a5_readme.txt as I was
looking for some info on OS X after the fact.

I built it with my horrible hack, and it "worked." What features
cannot work properly? Is there no way to support it, or has nobody
felt like supporting it?

And if it cannot be made to work, then cmake ought to detect MinGW's
version and tell the user instead of letting him build it, only to
find out that it crashes.
