Description
In #4520, we removed our mingw native compilation instructions, since they were out-of-date, and out-of-sync with our actual process. We should replace them with something better.
It's not likely to be our exact build process, though: our own binaries are cross-compiled using gitian in order to achieve reproducible builds. We should link to that, but also include a cleaned-up version for people who want to work natively on Windows.

Make all non-needs_review, non-needs_revision, 027-triaged-1-out items belong to 0.2.???

Finally admitting that 0.3.??? was a euphemism for Tor: unspecified all along.

There's building-tor-msvc.txt in doc/... Should we close this ticket?

A lot of us use mingw or msys2, we should probably work out which instructions we need.
(I also think the msvc instructions are untested.)
