Dependency problems in rust 0.2 package for Windows

[jmansion]

After installation, on a Win7 64 bit system, rustc fails immediately with:

The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

dependency walker thinks its a direct requirement of RUSTRT.DLL and RUSTLLVM.DLL, The other dependencies suggest that these were build with mingw, I suspect - why not with clang or msdev?

IESHIMS.DLL is also missing on my system, but its delay-load.
.
Anyway - I think you need to ship mingw runtime components. And that probably means license pain too, even if its just to reference the licenses and indicate where to get the sources.

mingw is a prerequisite for using rust on windows at the moment. This is a dupe of some combination of #1768, #2084, and #1603. Closing.
