C:\MinGW requirement added in README.md #78

I've stumbled upon problems with running the scripts because on a "clean system" the c compiler was not found. Installing it within msys2 with "pacman -Su gcc" wasn't the right solution and perhaps neither was an installing "pacman -Su mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain" as I've noticed only later in "0_append_distro_path.sh" that it expects some version of "nuwen-mingw" already present in "C:\MinGW"! Well, that might be kinda expected but perhaps would be better stated openly.

Thanks, mentioning the fact that the distro builds itself is a good idea. I plan to merge this (with slight rephrasings) for the next version of the distro.

And when might that next version be?

The new distro 18.0 is now available. (You may need to refresh my webpage.)

I had to overhaul the readme so I didn't apply this PR directly, but I did add the requested info. Thanks again! :smile_cat:
