Have you considered using the Subversion tree?  In a sense, this will 
put you even more on the bleeding edge, but it will also relieve you of 
having to integrate each new version into your tree.  When you're done 
making changes, svn can be asked to generate a patch file.  (See the 
HACKERS file.)  I'm far more likely to apply a tested patch than react 
to a prose description of needed changes.

Just a friendly warning: if your solution involves making people use the 
same IDE you do, I'll reject it.  In the specific case of MinGW, you 
need to figure out some way that anyone can build it, regardless of IDE.
