Hi Jonah,

A fully working port to Mingw is a release goal for babeltrace 2.0, as
you may have noticed a lot of patches for Mingw compatibility have been
merged in master in the last few weeks.

You can have a look at my port-staging [1] branch but it's really a
moving target right now.

As always, patches are welcome, if you plan to work on something, don't
hesitate to contact us on this mailing list or on oftc in the #lttng
channel.

Cheers,

Michael
