Description

bstrie reports that for Windows users, the mingw situation is not easy to understand: "the mingw site refers me to a sourceforge page which tells me to first download the meta-installer on a different sourceforge page which offers two different installers which are not elaborated upon and upon choosing either installer you are given the option of multiple versions of that installer".

Given the apparent lack of independent docs, we should document how to install mingw if it's a prereq for installing Rust on Windows.
