Well, kinda. It's an example of extremely bad technical writing ... I
remember the first time I read it I was going "huh? what the heck am I
supposed to install first, msys or mingw? and what goes where?"
I'll be bored at work today and I think I'll try building csound5 again
on windows. I managed ages ago on a different system. If I manage again
I will post all the steps from an empty WinXP on onwards. =)
