Well, MinGW stands for Minimal GNU for Win32. It's basically a port of the compiler and other compilation tool-chain, so it will run on Win32, but without trying to give a more UNIXish API (like fork(), signals, etc.) Some UNIX software don't require these UNIXisms and so can run unmodified on Win32, after compiled with MinGW or Visual C++. See for example: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ As opposed to MinGW cygwin or MS Services for UNIX (formerly Interix and formerly OpenNT) attempt to provide a UNIX-like emulation with fork(), and many other UNIXisms.
