After a long time coming, the Rust windows bots are now running an
up-to-date mingw-w64 toolchain. This was a very easy transition thanks
to the efforts of our windows devs, including Vadim, Thad, and klutzy.
The practical impact of this is that windows developers should prefer
the mingw-w64 toolchain to the old mingw toolchain. This is the
toolchain we will be supporting on Windows for the immediate future.
I've updated the [windows instructions] and the [getting started] page
slightly, but there's a lot of information there that I don't fully
understand. I'd appreciate if some of the more experienced windows devs
could go over them and make sure they are accurate.
The next step will be to add 64-bit windows bots and snapshots.
