I think that the Microsoft Visual Studios all come with make, even the free 
ones.  It's not with the OS but it's there in even the most casual developer 
because it's hard to develop for Windows and not find that you have one version 
of MVS or another.

Well, just some nitpicking maybe, but Unix/linux doesn't come with
make either. You'd have to install it from the repositories.

There are three options:

1. You use mingw makefiles or want to build Qt or wxwidgets or
something not requiring a Bash shell, like anything with a CMake build
system. Use mingw32-make from the "External Binary Packages" section
in the files section.

2. You need to build unix-ish libraries and apps, with a configure
script or autotools gunk. You'll need to download the msys package
from the same "External binary packages" section in the downloads
area.

3. You're running a Unix-ish system. In that case, install the host
make tool, and just use the regular configure-y and make magic to
point it to your mingw-w64 toolchain.
