We currently recommend the inclusive version of MSYS provided by the [mingw-builds project](http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/MSYS). Extract these to a directory somewhere and make sure they are on your path when building Rust. Using the MSYS shell can also be slightly more pleasant than building directly from the windows terminal.
