+Two build environments are caterered for: cygwin (see www.cygwin.com) and
+MinGW ("Minimalist GNU for Windows", see www.mingw.org). Both are based in
+the gcc compiler (although other C compilers should have little problem with
+the source code). Cygwin is a more sophisticated, commercial product that
+results in executables that depend on cygwin1.dll . No licensing is required
+since sg3_utils is open source (with either BSD or GPL licenses) but users
+will need to fetch that dll. On the other hand MinGW (and its companion MSYS
+shell) builds freestanding console executables. The Unix library support is
+not as advanced with MinGW which has led to some timing functions being
+compiled out when sg3_utils is built for MinGW.

+Build environments
+==================
+This package has various Makefiles so that these utilities can be built
+in either a cygwin and MinGW environment, called Makefile.win32 and
+Makefile.mingw respectively. The executables produced are console
+applications that can be executed in either a cygwin, MSYS or "cmd" shell.
+See the INSTALL file for more details.
