[ADMB Users] Open ADMB for Windows with MinGW

[Schnute, Jon]

I've spent most of today experimenting with the new release of ADMB for
Windows with MinGW. I'm pleased to report that it works, but not without
a few difficulties. The attached report explains exactly what happened.
In particular, Step 5 resolves the problem with "cat" reported by Tony
Booth earlier today.

Hopefully, everyone who gets this message will also get the attached PDF
file. If you have problems, let me know and I can send it again.

Please note that I have two questions for which I'd like answers.
Probably you compiler gurus can answer Question 1 instantly. I hope the
ADMB Project gurus think carefully about my Question 2 because it points
the way toward contributions that users can make, even at this early
stage before the source code can be released.

Best wishes,
Jon
