 Running `make` (using MinGW/MSYS) spews the following error/s.

 {{{
 ./tools/jam/src/bin.ntx86/bjam  --user-config=user-config.jam
 mingw.jam: No such file or directory

 `./configure`, which I executed before `make`, ran without errors. If it
 helps, `user-config.jam` has the line "using mingw ; ".

 If this is not the way, then I suggest you include ''brief'' installation
 instructions in the root directory in future releases. I have no desire to
 be browsing through pages of useless text just to find out how your
 installation mechanism works :)

 Unsurprisingly `./configure && make` seems to work if I change the "using
 mingw ; " line to "using gcc ; " in `user-config.jam`. Remains to be seen
 if the output is anything usable.
