As far I know, mingw isn't supposed to emulate unix. It's a free gcc
implementation for Windows with its own header files to support the win32
API and POSIX.1.
MSYS on the other hand emulates the BASH shell and script functionality.
Yes, If I want to write free software with a free c++ compiler to Windows, I
would certainly choose mingw.
