The whole MinGW thing is overhyped.  Install Cygwin and specify gcc
-mno-cygwin when you compile.  That gets you the same compilation
environment that MinGW provides, but you can use all the Unix tools.

Yeah, but if there is supposedly no cvs available in that environment,
what is the point of this exercise?  They're going to have to download a
pre-cooked tarball anyway.
