Actually, that won't help him very much. He would first need to build GRX for Mingw. The makefile.w32 in the GRX package does not work (for one thing, all the "if exist ..." lines fail miserably, both under command.com and any other shell). The file requires a substantial amount of editing before it can be used. Eventually, I ended up creating a "makefile.msys" which uses the MSYS tools for building the package (works for building for Mingw (i.e., native Windows) and MSYS targets, and also for Cygwin). Perhaps I should call it makefile.gnuwin32 ...
I am not sure who on the GRX team to send this file to. It is certainly needed for anyone who wishes to build GRX on Windows, using gcc.
I suggest to send it to the GRX list grx@gnu.de. (They regularly send patches etc. on the list.) If you don't feel like subscribing to that list, I suppose you can send it to the maintainer, Mariano Alvarez Fernandez <malfer(at)telefonica.net> or to Dimitar Zhekov <jimmy(at)is-vn.bg>, currently the most active contributor, also for Windows stuff.
