v0.0.8 is good enough. Hardly anyone needs UCS-2-INTERNAL. But many programs

I regularly build all my packages on 32-bit and 64-bit mingw. Also, I know that
GNU Emacs wants binaries that work on Windows XP, and that means 32-bit binaries.

Games are a particular niche of the PC market, isn't it? Hardware that consumes
lots of power and is loud, reflective displays, mostly proprietary software?
