I, for one, appreciate all the hard work invested in that.

While we are at that: can you (or someone else) point me to
instructions on how to build the MinGW port of GIT?  I found a tarball
of the MinGW-ported GIT (v1.5.3, I think), but what I don't seem to be
able to find is some kind of HOWTO: what tools I need to have
installed, how to configure them (if there are any special issues
there), what command(s) to type, etc.  Is there anything like that out
there, or can someone post such instructions?

TIA
