That looks very nice, I need to try it (usually something sticks because 
I can't find the right version of something, the MinGW people seem to 
randomly change what's in their packages)
but I see you have the lines:
svn co 
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended/0.41/
cd 0.41/pd/src
make -f makefile.mingw

Are Windows folks doomed to live in the past or is it possible to build 
0.43 with MinGW the same way?
