And I have to say that this must be the most insolent plea for help that
I have ever seen in *my* life!

All I will say is that I have installed *all* of the stuff you are
whingeing about, without encountering the slightest problem, simply by
following the instructions at:
http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/GettingStarted
and cheerfully accepting the defaults for everything; it all works fine
for me. Perhaps you should direct your vitriolic criticism somewhere
closer to home.

Are you kidding? Do you seriously expect the voluntary maintainers of
any software, especially that which you have acquired at zero cost, to
respond sympathetically, when you insult them so wilfully? And, please
DO NOT post multipart MIME messages; use plain text ONLY, and set word
wrap at 72 columns or less.
