README.MinGW

        This README is aimed at Windows users.  If you're on a Unix
        system I'm expecting you to be able to take care of yourself
        and also expect you're using a distribution with a fairly
        complete and non-retarded packaging system.

        If your libs directory is empty you'll either to download them
        from the homepage or you can try to compile them yourself in
        which case you'll need to download and install MinGW, MSYS and
        CMake:

            o CMake: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html#latest
            o MinGW: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=240780
            o MSYS: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=24963
                    http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=2435&filename=MSYS-1.0.10.exe&a=14697658

        Install MinGW first and then MSYS.  Use MSYS version 1.0.10.
        There's guides and information on www.mingw.org if needed.
        (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Install_the_MinGW_GCC_Compiler_Suite)

        If all of this is done you can issue:

            > cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles"

        (not "MinGW Makefiles"!)

        and then:

            > make

        and if everything goes right (probably not) it should end up
        in the lib directory.
