MinGW和MSYS相关

翻译MinGW官网的首页，首页描述了MinGW和MSYS的基本情况。

MinGW部分：

MinGW, a contraction of "Minimalist GNU for Windows", is a minimalist development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications.
MinGW是"Minimalist GNU for Windows"的缩写，是一个为原生的微软应用程序开发的最低要求的开发环境。
MinGW provides a complete Open Source programming tool set which is suitable for the development of native MS-Windows applications, and which do not depend on any 3rd-party C-Runtime DLLs. 
MinGW提供了一个和原生的MS-Windows应用程序相匹配的完整的开源编程工具集，它不依赖任何第三方C运行时链接库。
(It does depend on a number of DLLs provided by Microsoft themselves, as components of the operating system; most notable among these is MSVCRT.DLL, the Microsoft C runtime library. 
它依赖许多的微软自身提供的链接库，将它们作为操作系统的组成部分；在这些链接库中，最著名的是MSVCRT.DLL，它是微软的C运行时链接库。
Additionally, threaded applications must ship with a freely distributable thread support DLL, provided as part of MinGW itself).
另外，线程应用程序必须随附一个免费发行的线程支持链接库，它是作为MinGW自身的一部分被提供的。
MinGW compilers provide access to the functionality of the Microsoft C runtime and some language-specific runtimes. 
MinGW编译器可以让我们使用Microsoft C runtime的一些功能，和一些语言特有的runtimes。
MinGW, being Minimalist, does not, and never will, attempt to provide a POSIX runtime environment for POSIX application deployment on MS-Windows. 
MinGW作为最迷你的系统，不会也绝不会尝试着为了让POSIX程序部署到MS-Windows上而提供一个POSIX运行时环境。
If you want POSIX application deployment on this platform, please consider Cygwin instead.
如果你想让POSXI程序部署到这个平台上，请考虑用Cygwin代替我。
Primarily intended for use by developers working on the native MS-Windows platform, but also available for cross-hosted use, (see note below -- you may need to follow the "read more" link to see it), MinGW includes:
它主要想做的是，让开发者在原生的MS-Windows平台上使用它来工作，它还可作cross-hosted之用，MinGW包括：
A port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), including C, C++, ADA and Fortran compilers;
移植的GNU编译器集合(GCC)，包括C、C++、ADA和Fortran编译器。
GNU Binutils for Windows (assembler, linker, archive manager)
在Windows上运行的GNU二进制工具包(汇编器、连接器、归档管理器)。
A command-line installer, with optional GUI front-end, (mingw-get) for MinGW and MSYS deployment on MS-Windows
一个命令行安装程序，它带有可选的GUI前端，让MinGW和MSYS用mingw-get命令将程序部署到MS-Windows上。
A GUI first-time setup tool (mingw-get-setup), to get you up and running with mingw-get.
一个GUI首次安装工具(mingw-get-setup)，它会让你进入mingw-get的世界。

MSYS部分：
MSYS, a contraction of "Minimal SYStem", is a Bourne Shell command line interpreter system. 
MSYS是"Minimal SYStem"的缩写，它是一个Bourne Shell的命令行解释器系统。
Offered as an alternative to Microsoft's cmd.exe, this provides a general purpose command line environment, 
它提供了一个Microsoft的cmd.exe的替换物，它提供了一个通用支持的命令行环境，
which is particularly suited to use with MinGW, for porting of many Open Source applications to the MS-Windows platform; 
它尤其适合同MinGW一起使用，移植许多开源程序到MS-Windows平台，
a light-weight fork of Cygwin-1.3, it includes a small selection of Unix tools, chosen to facilitate that objective.
它有相对于Cygwin-1.3的一个轻量级的fork函数，它包含了Unix tools的一个子集，这样做有利于这一目标。
