I'm trying to get an exe built with mingw32 into the windows app store.
The compiler flags recommended for the windows build chain are
- SAFESEH, DYNAMICBASE, NXCOMPAT, and APPCONTAINER 


On the mingw side, I found

--dynamicbase and --nxcompat, which appear to have the desired effects.

-APPCONTAINER is accepted but does nothing - at least for an exe. 
I haven't found anywhere exactly that the "flag" it sets is supposed
to consist of.

That leaves -SAFESEH, which is apparently not relavant to the way
mingw builds binaries, but the app store needs some placebo to be
happy.
