You got a point there.

Git for Windows uses MINGW indeed.
But there are still CYGWIN users out in the wild
running the vanilla Windows python installation.

Actually this issue has a big impact on those of us because
recent `setuptools` tools allow for packages to specify project dependencies
using the `git+https://...` url-scheme.
So the problem may appear to unaware users just trying to install
a packages the regular way, with `pip install foo.package`

Great thanks,
