BTW in case someone has a bit of time to look at the MinGW 
headers. They are built as part of the `build-mingw-libs` branch 
at the installer repo:

https://github.com/dlang/installer/blob/build-mingw-libs/windows/build_mingw.bat

This is automated via AppVeyor:

https://github.com/dlang/installer/blob/build-mingw-libs/appveyor.yml

And it's added to the zip here:

https://github.com/dlang/installer/blob/master/create_dmd_release/build_all.d#L505

I think the installer detects whether Visual Studio is installed 
or nor, but I'm not sure on this (I don't use Windows).
