The story of GNAT is that is started out internally as "Great New Ada
Technology". When it became an offial name it was reinterpreted as "GNu Ada
Translator". However, that became a problem as people though it translated Ada
into C. So it was decided that GNAT would simply be a name.

Why not the same for MINGW. Simply call it "Mingw GNU for Windows" and leave
it at that ?
