I guess mingw?  I've used those interchangeably because the installed  
stuff references both.  The download page for it is on the thread you  
linked.

I did go through and figured out the command line to install the needed  
packages (and they're mostly in the msys section).  It's running the tests  
now, and I'll update that page tomorrow if no problems appear.
