Hi, I updated the documentation link to the mingw homepage in the docs because the original homepage seems to have been overtaken and now seems to be some sort of scam.

Thanks for pointing this out, @ke-hermann! Trying to navigate the page you've linked however, it seems like it's inaccessible. It does look like the link here is functioning however.

I will admit between @Raelr and myself, we've moved onto using MSYS2 to get MinGW-32 on Windows so we can handle a host of other Unixy dependencies. We could optionally add the instructions we now have for Siege Engine as follows in that case or maybe have it as an alternative:

- [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) with the following UCRT packages installed:
    - `mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc`
    - `mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-make`
    - `mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-python`
    - `mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cmake`

What are your thoughts on this?

Yup, going with MSYS2 seems like the right thing to do given that the updated Mingw link seems to be down permanently too.
