I installed MinGW on a Windows XP with no trouble.  One needs to install 
MSYS, as well as MinGW, since some modules (eg. make) are only available
in MSYS.

Currently, I am trying to build a package from source and have some 
unresolved problems.  Earlier I had tried to use the Borland 
commandline, without success.
