Using vanilla MinGW would be masochistic, given that you can install the Cygwin environment in which the MinGW toolchain is available as a package!!!

Under Cygwin, you can compile programs in the MinGW way, but you can also use any build-time tool that will compile on Cygwin.

Getting a build-time tool for MinGW means porting it to MSYS; have fun!
