+ "Minimalist GNU for Windows (@dfn{MinGW}) is a complete software
+development environment for creating native Microsoft Windows applications.
+
+It includes a set of Windows-specific header files and static import libraries
+which enable the use of the Windows API. It does not rely on any third-party C
+runtime dynamic-link libraries (@dfn{DLL}s).
+
+Mingw-w64 is an advancement of the original mingw.org project and provides
+several new APIs such as DirectX and DDK, and 64-bit support.")
