Unfortunately, we don't have any test for the mingw libraries based builds. Even if there were some using the mingw libs of the host compiler, this update would need a library not yet in any dmd release. |

Does this warrant a changelog entry ? |
I will create one for all the recent changes to the Windows installation, probably in the installer repository. |

Since dlang/installer#346, the mingw runtime can be combined with any MS C runtime from VC8 to VC12.
With dlang/installer#436, the necessary redistributable DLLs will be part of the dmd distribution, so no additional installers necessary.
