The only rule I follow (religiously, btw) is not to overwrite a DLL with an older one, judging by its time stamp.

The question is: can we amend the instructions to make them less error-prone? The manual instructions are very detailed, and I can vouch for their correctness because that's what I used. The mingw-get instructions are from someone else, so those who use it are kindly requested to help with making them better, as much as possible.
