You're right, mingw + msys might be enough for the
users requirements.
You must keep in mind that mingw's design is to
provide an open source build environment for windows
development and not a portability layer. Though the
mingwex runtime has some portability functions to
aid in the transition, it still just using the Windows
C runtime.
Cheers,
Carlos.
