They are command line tools that run on linux but produce binaries for
Win32.

Once installed they provide a set of GNU build tools that are equivalent
to the linux versions with names like 'mingw32-gcc', 'mingw32-ld' etc.
Once setup, all you need to do is to use 'mingw32-gcc' for your compiler
and you get binaries for win32 instead of linux.
