Turns out they are. This is what Aaron LaFramboise, the current MinGW  
maintainer, told me a while ago in #mingw:

[16:29] <pgquiles> is it possible to create and embed manifest files  
for side-by-side assemblies using MingW?
[16:31] <AaronWL> yes
[16:32] <AaronWL> i dont remember the specifics, but you add them to
