There is a group of people who does care for Mingw (and not for msvc) -
we also from time to time chip in on other windows issues for things
that are shared between msvc and mingw.

Our Patron, g10code, ships a collection of frameworks and a few
applications everything built with mingw. There are some KDE developers
on the team. Including me.
