I have very limited knowledge about windows, I just wanted to help 
Federico with his quest of running kotor with llvmpipe on windows. I saw 
in the mesa documentation that I can use mingw to build it, I googled 
mingw, the first result was mingw.org, the download link took me to 
sourceforge, and I downloaded the installer from there. Now I see that 
there is also a mingw-w64.org. Oh well.

I can try, but my experience in this area is very limited.

OK, nevermind then.
