Re: Why the rash of people bypassing setup.exe to install?

FWIW, I've recently sent email to Mumit Khan for similar reasons.  His
"ancient" gnu-win32 site still shows up in google and some of the
outdated techniques espoused there demonstrably cause confusion.
It's even worse that you think. Last week's LWN contained a newssnippet about "Xmingwin" -- a linux-build, mingw-target cross compiler leveraged off of Earnie's mingw. Which, of course, has a heritage from cygwin.

If you read the article that lwn refers to,
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-sc10.html
you find that ITS "resources" section contains a ton of links to a lot of old, unmaintained, and otherwise inaccurate mingw and cygwin sites -- including two separate links to Mumit's pages.

And this is a NEW, January 2003 article in IBM's developerWorks.

Sigh.
