That was quick.  Thanks JP!  I also did a 64 bit release build on msys2
with JPs patch and it worked fine so we should be good to go with OCE.
@Cirilo, please check if this works for you.  Maybe someone can create
an OCE PKGBUILD for the msys2 project with JPs patch so the msys2
project can have an OCE package.  This would save our msys2/mingw devs
some grief.
