MinGW stands for "minimalist GNU for Windows".
I've pronounced it "min gee double-you" or "min gee wub" (since I often call the letter 'w' /wub/, but that's just me and my little idiosyncrasy).
Steve Wilhite, the creator of GIF, calls it /jif/.
I like "wub". Every other letter has a monosyllabic name except w's "double-u".
If nothing else, it makes saying "" really fun to say, instead of the mouthful that it is now.
Looks like the angle-brackets ate your "a href="www.""
I'd say it this way...
angle ay aytch ref equals quote aytch tee tee pee colon slash slash wub wub wub dot quote close-angle
Hmm, that makes me curious as to spellings of the letters.
OED uses: a bee cee dee e ef jee aitch i jay kay el om en o pee cue ar ess tee u vee double-u ex wy zee
SAM uses: ey biy siy diy iy ehf jiy eych ay jey key ehl ehm ehn ow piy kyuw aor ehs tiy yuw viy dahblyuw ehks way ziy

(Using my "wub". Tee-hee. :-)
