> Oh thanks so much, perhaps some basic help for newbie users, a glossary page explaining what gcc/binutils is and how mingw-w64 connects to them. Perhaps even pages explaining how a compiler/assembler/linker works. The way I look at it, users new to C programming and jumping into Windows/mingw would need all the help they can get, even support desk guys get jaded after being asked the same questions day after day. If you want to write something else, go ahead, I'm just suggesting some easy pages for warm-up. :)
