Also, I would recommend uninstalling cygwin before you install
mingw, because if the mingw doesn't behave properly (gcc won't compile
files etc...), you could be sure that there definitely is a conflict
between the cygwin and mingw.
If you don't wish to uninstall cygwin, at least rename the folder
to someting else (cygwin.before.mingw) so that you don't accidentally
use cygwin's binaries.
