Thanks for this!

Question:  In your readme, you specify that you need a 64bit windows
build environment, but then later on say if you don't there are linux
scripts in the mingw64 directory.  Does this mean that you don't consider
mingw64 to be a valid 64bit windows build environment?  I run GCC/GNAT
8.2 on mingw64 in x86_64 and thought that that should be sufficient?

Hi Jere

I definitely consider Mingw64 a 64bit build environment, and I have recently
started using it rather than building a cross compiler on Linux (which is what
the build scripts do)

So yes mingw64 is sufficient and very useable. Adacore community edition, now
that its 64Bit should also work (although I must admit I have not as yet tested
this.
