cannot move the individual sub-directories or files inside it. For example,
copying the ODB compiler executable to C:\Windows will not work.
+Finally, note that the mingw\ sub-directory is internal ODB implementation
+details and you should not need to know anything about its existence. In
+particular, mingw\ contains the include\ sub-directory which in turn
+contains what looks like libodb headers. You must not add this include/
+sub-directory to your C++ compiler include search path (you would be
+surprised how many people do this "for good measure" and end up with a
+broken build).
