Re: installing from source in Windows

No at all familiar with MinGW, but I've done some "./configure"s in my time.

./configure scripts 1) check to see what the local build environment
contains and 2) which special feature you wish to toggle.

But the pretty much assume a unix-like env. Could you put cygwin on
rather than just mingw?
