Just a quick response on this point, since it could be very important. 
The new Buildbot was used to build the Windows release of ScummVM 2.0.0, 
which uses the mingw-w64 compiler suite. I wanted to confirm Windows XP 
is still supported by the Windows release of ScummVM 2.0.0, as mingw-w64 
is stated to have dropped Windows XP support on the ScummVM wiki ( 
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Compiling_ScummVM/MinGW-w64 ).

I tried emailing you directly on 11th December 2017, requesting to 
ensure Windows XP support was still working in the Windows release of 
ScummVM 2.0.0, as mingw-w64 was stated as been used for the Windows 
build on IRC.

I just want to make sure Windows XP support has not been broken, in the 
Windows release of ScummVM 2.0.0.
