MinGW support in Pd, or even the MinGW support for Gem (which is not complete).
afaik, the mingw support for Gem is as complete as it can be. what works: compiling Gem and plugins what does not work: linking plugins against proprietary c++-libraries that have been compiled with MSVC.
the latter will never work (unless mingw changes it's c++ ABI to match that of MSVC - or the other way round. none of it is likely to happen ever). unfortunately, some important Gem-plugins in w32 use proprietary C++-libraries compiled with MSVC, namely the DirectShow components of video-capture and movie-playback.
