Seems to work ok if I:
1) also add x86_64-pc-mingw32\bin and libexec\gcc\x86_64-pc-mingw32\4.4.0 to
the path;
2) set the CPATH environment variable to include both the
x86_64-pc-mingw32\include and include folders;
3) set the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the
x86_64-pc-mingw32\lib, lib and lib\gcc\x86_64-pc-mingw32\4.4.0 folders.

I can then even compile C programs that need to link to the gmp and mpfr
libraries (as supplied in mingw-w64-bin-gmp-mpfr.tar.bz2 , which is also
available from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=202880&package_id=2455 16&release_id=546049 )
.

This workaround (to what still has all the hallmarks of being the "Vista
access problem") has probably always existed, but it's only in the last week
or so that I found out about the CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment
variables.

So it looks like I might have something to work with at last - though it's
still early days, and I'm not yet ready to declare "problems solved".

Cheers,
Rob
