The first item of business is of course a continuity of changes being maintained for the two repositories. The current repository is held in Cygwin's winsup CVS so we need to keep current with it and the CVS data is being stored in the winapi git repository. This allows the current status of the repository to be maintained. We will keep our changes in the winapi git repository and then push those changes to a mingw project git repository once we are complete. A satisfactory completion of this project is when I can use it to build a binutils and GCC version for x86_64-pc-mingw.

The triplet string is still undecided by me. In my opinion the 32bit triplet should be i[3-7]86-pc-mingw but changing it now is not correct. The triplet currently is i[3-7]86-pc-mingw32 which allows us to shorten the host and target to mingw32 instead of the full i[3-7]-pc-mingw32. It this light I will plan for the triplet to be x86_64-pc-mingw64 so that we can shorten the host and target to be mingw64 in the same vain as mingw32 is shortened. This helps with the confusion caused by noobies who do not understand the triplet. However, it may not be possible to shorten the triplet because of x86_64-w64-mingw64 already existing, this will need to be studied.
