As I understand it, mingw is being promoted to the same status as cygwin,
where formerly it wasn't listed at all. Both remain secondary to other
platforms; one might wish it were otherwise, but I guess that depends on
the volume of talent or money that's contributed, and anyway that's not
the decision they're considering right now.
