Except there's no explanation what so ever on how the hell you're supposed to pronounce it!

GUI can be pronounced as either "gooey" or "gee you eye", but there's no such thing for "MinGW"

"Min gnu win" perhaps?

Same for cygwin (I thought it was see-wai-gee win but it's actually sig-win).

Cygwin
1.) sig-win ('sɪɡwɪn)
This is pretty well established.

MinGW
Less have I come across this, but if you were to come across it for whatever reason (a talk or presentation for some sort of type-con, for example) I would advise this:
I would accept either:
1.) Ming Win ('miːŋɡwɪn)
2.) Mihn Jee Win ('mɪndʒiːwɪn)
3.) Mihn Jee Wee (mɪn'dʒiːwiː)

However, I would discourage:
1.) Ming Double-U (miːŋɡ'dʌbljuː)
Much too difficult to say.

If ever coming across MinGW in a verbal setting, it would be advised to have it written out also.
