+Continuing with Windows Bootstrap, to build with MinGW you can either perform
+the following steps manually or, if you are happy with using the defaults, run
+the \c{build-mingw.bat} batch file. It performs (and echoes) the same set of
+steps as outline below but only allows you to customization the compiler and
+installation directory (run \c{build-mingw.bat /?} for usage) and you can also
+specify an alternative package repository with the \c{BUILD2_REPO} environment
+variable.
+
+For example, if your MinGW distribution is in \c{C:\\mingw\\}, then you could
+run it (from the command prompt that we have started earlier) like this:
+
+\
+> build-mingw.bat C:\mingw\bin\g++
+\
+
+If you are using the \c{build2-mingw} package then you should be able to
+use just \c{g++} for the compiler:
+
+\
+> build-mingw.bat g++
+\
