According to my understanding, mingw compiler versions aren't supported 
on this list, notwithstanding that cygwin install is probably the best 
way to get them.  However, that compiler gives me good OpenMP 
performance on 6 of 10 test cases, running on an early core I7 with 
HyperThread disabled, Win7SP1.  GOMP_AFFINITY setting as well as 
avoiding Hyper-Threading are likely more important on Windows than 
linux.  Win7SP1 is particularly important when using Hyper-Threading.
