+ \note For users of the MinGW binary package: This package is now
+ based on MinGW 4.4. The installer no longer offers to download
+ MinGW for you, but rather offers to use a version of MinGW that
+ you already have installed on your machine. You just tell the
+ installer which directory MinGW is installed in. If you don't
+ already have MinGW 4.4 installed, you can download a .zip archive
+ from our \l{ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/misc/MinGW-gcc440_1.zip} {ftp
+ site}. This archive provides fixes to MinGW and support for
+ missing API, See the _patches directory in the archive for
+ details.
+
+ \note A MinGW installation is only needed to build against the
+ binary pacakge, not to run the pre-compiled binaries that are in
+ the package.
