I am a long-time Cygwin user but I know practically nothing about
MinGW.  Does MinGW provide a command-line shell and tools like Cygwin?
 Or is MinGW just a compilation environment?

I am aware of the MinGW binary build (which appears to track patches
within 24 hours) but are there any specific reasons to use MinGW over
an mspgcc binary compiled under Cygwin?  (aside from the availability
of the MinGW binary, that is.)  Are there any problems using
MinGW-compiled software in a Cygwin shell?

Many thanks to anyone who can provide a brief overview of these topics.
