Tortoisesvn is getting all the files from svn.
Is there somewhere special I should download them to? I used a folder on 
a secondary partition to keep the main partition being overflowed with 
compilation files.
F:\pd-ext-compilation\svn\sources\...

I couldn't find any hints on WindowsMinGW wiki as what functions I 
needed. I'll give it a first try wit the old version. And I'll look into 
the newer files a bit later.


With MinGW, MSYS, should I get Cygwin too?
