*ahem*
Mingw _does not belong to Cygwin_, Mingw is a separate and optional
set of development tools that just happens to run alongside the Cygwin
Development Tools and that _may be_ installed with the Cygwin
Development Tools...it is _not_ a Cygwin development tool, it is a
Cygwin "Option" in the same way that the "-mno-cygwin" switch is an
"optional" switch.
It has only achieved this after a whole bunch of volunteers spent a
great deal of time and energy (man-years) attempting to integrate the
two to work with a simple switch called "-mno-cygwin". It has _not
been_ a "trivial task".
Peace,
Paul G.
