Hi Mark,

The system I was using isn't available anymore to check, but it was a
year ago so I probably was on mingw-64 7.0 -- not sure which gcc that
was.

I didn't use chocolatey  -- typically I would just install everything
manually. Looking back on my notes though I wrote that installing "was
really smooth"  -- I think I only started hitting my Windows issues
later ;)  I definitely was able to set a custom PREFIX though because
I never installed tools in C:/.

cheers, George
