Comment:
I agree with Claus here, GHC should ship its own minimal version of the
necessary mingw tools, which is private to GHC. This would simplify the
Windows Building instructions, and reduce the number of obvious mistakes
people can make. People who want Mingw should install their own separate
copy - if GHC tries to reuse an existing installation it becomes much more
fragile with version shift.
