As a project admin for MinGW and MSYS, I must acknowledge a vested interest, but for me these two, and also Cygwin, are about the only things that make Win32 even remotely tolerable :-) My *everything* is to be interpreted as referring to Microsoft's scope of supply. Thanks for the vote of confidence in MinGW and MSYS.
