Why is it "uncommitted" and not a part of clang source ?

What does supporting mingw-64 have to do with the hardcoded path c:\mingw ?

I do not understand how one obtains a patch from the link given, how one 
applies the patch, and to what the patch is supposed to be applied ( but 
I assume the patch is applied to the clang source somewhere ).
