No, and I don't think it should be outside. What I would like to avoid
if possible though, is having win32 problems split across different
FAQs. Most end users won't care about whether something is a Mingw or
Installer issue and will just get frustrated if they cannot find the
info they need.

I guess the best answer might be to clearly mark the Mingw FAQ as a
diy-compilation FAQ, and include a link for 'normal' end users to the
installer FAQ in which we try to include all relevant q&a's.
