+The following are the recommended specifications for building on
+MinGW-W64; but is not necessarily the only configuration that is
+possible:
 
-   * Intel 32-bit or 64-bit hardware
-   * MinGW on Fedora 17+, Ubuntu 12+ or Debian, gcc 4.6+
-   * yasm 1.2.x (for i386 or x86_64 architectures)
+   * Intel 64-bit hardware
+   * MinGW-W64 on Fedora 20+, Ubuntu 14+ or Debian 7+ using gcc 4.7+
+   * Official MinGW-w64 builds are recommended over those provided by
+     distributions.
+   * yasm 1.2 or newer
 
-     Note: It is recommended to use the platform distribution's standard
-     compiler for maximum C++ compatibility.  If you build with a custom
-     compiler it will likely introduce non-standard runtime requirements
-     and have new/delete, exception and RTTI incompatibilities.  There
-     are of course many valid reasons to build with unbundled compilers,
-     but be aware it is generally unsupported and left as an exercise to
-     the reader.
+     Note: We use MinGW-w64 from
+     http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/?source=navbar
 
-     Note: You must set the -cross flag with configure to cross compile
+     Please see "Toolchains targetting Win64" -> "Automated Builds" and
+     choose the latest version.
+
+     At the time of writing,
+     "mingw-w64-bin_x86_64-linux_20131228.tar.bz2" is used.
+
+     Note2: You must set the -cross flag with configure to cross compile
      with windows.  See the Example below.  Note that the cross compiler
      name varies between distributions.
 
-     As of this writing, MinGW has available to it several versions of
-     gcc; only one of which may be found and used in the path as 'gcc'
-     and 'g++'.  Configure will thus find what is probably the older
-     version of gcc in a typical MinGW environment.  If you desire to
-     build with the newer gcc, it is found in the path as 'gcc-4' and
-     'g++-4' respectively and you must indicate to configure the desired
-     versions.  The following syntax should do the trick:
+     The following is an example:
 
-     ../configure --cross=i686-w64-mingw32 --gcc=gcc-4
