Apparently, the installer model is so good, that it installs ALL 
the necessary files within the C:\Mingw folder.

I copied the entire folder to a flash drive, and put the flash 
drive into another windows machine that had no MingW or Cygwin on 
it, and was able to compile, make, and install GnuPG 1.4.11 
directly into the flashdrive (into the flashdrive's MingW\bin 
folder).

So, 
as long as you don't need permission to run msys.bat from a 
flashdrive
(Norton and some other antivirus software sometimes get upset with 
this),
you can have a portable MingW-MSYS compiler that works on windows 
machines).
