 no, mingw binary distrib contains too many small *.exe files, 
 small *.exe(sed.exe, awk.exe, ar nm ...) file maybe used under the name of "flexibility",
 i don't like it. it's early unix spirit. the result *was* non-user-friendly.
 i thought that's why visual c++ is/was popular.
 what i want is just One big make-compatible "NEWmake.exe" which understand "Configure"
 "NEWmake.exe" will be some kind of BusyBox(http://busybox.net).
 this a little thought  simplyfied mingw's complexity. 

 Dear coder, it's up to you!

 Sorry, (i feeling my english skill :)
 no, On Windows platform, console app is rare, i am using WinXP, 
 I Daily using internet explorer, windows media player, easyoffice, explorer, winxp,
 notepad.
 i sometimes touching mingw, but if i want console app, cygwin is the best..
 most early Unix and current Linux neglects GUI. (plan9 is not)
 for example, linux kernel is not neglectful. 
 but most user(like me) don't want work under console. how flexible console is!
 i admits Console's *Minimal* necessity. also, i admits GUI's majority.
 GUI/User-friendly/opensource/simplicity is the way of Mingw!

 Sorry, can't tell my mother language, privacy, Understand me.
