Thanks for the report - that's good news.

OK, I'll restrict it to these (given xprefix=i686-pc-mingw32):

/usr/$xprefix/sys-root/mingw/bin/mingwm??.dll
/usr/$xprefix/sys-root/mingw/bin/libgcc_s_sjlj-?.dll
/usr/$xprefix/sys-root/mingw/bin/libstdc++-?.dll

If they are sufficient to run mythfrontend?

Unfortunately it's a bit like fishing in the dark when we're running
different versions of mingw.  But we've got there :-)

Thanks.
