cygwin includes a version of mingw.  AFAIK, this has been the case for
some time.

As far as "good ideas" are concerned, I've repeatedly pleaded for people
to take the mingw stuff off of my hands.  It looks like Earnie Boyd may
have volunteered to do that for some parts of the package.  I just have
to get around to giving him an account on sourceware.

Isn't this question pretty easily answered by just trying to compile
using -mno-cygwin?
