I meant compiling it in mingw+msys; there are instructions on the web 
site but it's not trivial to do.  However there are a lot of people 
following this ticket, at least some of which have already tried 
recompiling linking to libutf8 (which this patch is supposed to do 
automatically).  All that's needed is for one person to test it (both 
with and without libutf8 present) and report the results.
