The packages within the MinGW/Base directory are supported by the MinGW
development team; they provide the core facilities required for a basic
MinGW installation.
To install files distributed by MinGW we suggest you use the mingw-get
installer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer
To set mingw-get up for first time use, run the mingw-get-setup.exe
tool; this will install mingw-get for use as a command line tool, and,
at your option, as a GUI installer tool. Once set up, you may then use
it at any time, to install your choice of additional packages.
