The source for the getting started guide is in 'more/getting_started'
in your copy of boost. If editing the restructured text source code is
too difficult, I can try to translate changes to the html (no
promises, I don't really know restructured text myself).

FWIW I don't know much about building on windows, let alone with
mingw, so I can't help much here.
