And that is great, no one is saying we will reject patches to make it compile 
with mingw, we are just saying that the policy "strong word" 'shall' in the 
policy is for the 3 "platform compilers".

Would it make you happier if we included 

D) Reasonable patches introducing or fixing support for other compilers shall 
not be reasonable rejected

or something to that effect? I think that is a given, but maybe it's better to 
spell it out?
