Maybe consider just bumping up to 11.0. I doubt anyone would build latest curl with such an old MinGW. |

I propose bumping the required minimum mingw-w64 version to 3.0 (2013-09-20).
1.0 and 2.0 were released in 2011. It seems unlikely that many people use them.
The oldest downloadable toolchain (that I know of) comes with 3.0. It means these
old versions aren't CI tested, and perhaps also seldom tested elsewhere. Issues
were never reported for them either. The last bugfix update for both 1.0 and 2.0
was released in 2015.
The benefit for curl is that it allows dropping some exceptions for the older versions.
2.0 doesn't fully support 64-bit file offsets, it doesn't have
ADDRESS_FAMILYtype,and
if_nametoaddressis missing from 1.0 Windows headers and implib.2.0 and 1.0 also doesn't support
__MINGW_PRINTF_FORMAT.(The maintenance benefit is that one doesn't have to look up that far back in the
release tarballs when researching a CRT or Win32 API feature.)
