Earnie, 

Thanks for MinGW/MSYS.  It would be best if you
maintained documentation in any form that was easiest for
you.  Your work on the core MinGW/MSYS is more important
than work on supporting various formats for documentation
(or providing documentation in a format that is not
convenient for you).
