I've tried MinGW, and that's actually harder to install. The entire
installation directions are (besides setting path arguements):

"To install mingw, choose the distribution you want, either mingw using
crtdll.dll or mingw using mscvrt.dll. Download the distribution. Unzip it.
(Zip/unzip utilities are available from
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/infozip/.) If the bin directory that holds
mingw executables isn't already in your path, add it. That's it. "

Sounds easy, right? There are 6 completely different packages on the
sourceforge site they give, each with about 3 versions downloadable. The
dates and the version numbers don't match, so it's difficult to tell what
versions match which. Installing all 6 of the latest non-beta packages and
trying to compile the most basic c program (noting that they don't say
specifically the preffered compilation flags) creates an error in as.exe.
*Sigh* Oh well.
