Well, I didn't add it to the mingw spec file for that^ specific reason,
but according to
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-July/msg00022.html it
broke the the build on mingw apparently.
I assume any breakage would have been caused by the fact
that the libvirt-admin DLL and header files were missing;
those should definitely be included in the package.
What I'm wondering is whether the virt-admin executable
should be shipped at all.
However, I wouldn't bother
splitting the packages to -client and -admin on mingw at the moment,
it's just not worth it IMHO.
I don't have a strong opinion either way, I just though
I would bring it up for discussion :)
