I wonder if folks who ask this question fully realize the meaning of "Minimal" im MingW. The binary for MingW is about 12 megabytes at last glance. Cygwin, the full package runs many 100's of Megabytes. So a single archive is plainly untenable. The nature of Cygwin is flexible, so the setup allows you to load just what *you* need. So, there is logic and reason in the way Cygwin does things. There is logic and reason in the way MingW does things. There is even logic and reason in the fact that those methods are very different.
