I’ve abandoned this idea for 8.3. I tried making a separate plug-in but quickly found out that our LLVM plug-in depends on it which raised the point that this is probably an API change. I then tried to add the UI to the gnu.ui plug-in only to come to the
realization that this plug-in isn’t actually a UI plug-in. Making it one without moving the build definitions to a core plug-in will mess up headless builds. Sigh.
We have Andrew’s method below which we can use for now. Not very discoverable. Mind you neither is a deeply buried preference. I have another idea that’ll cover this which I’ll be talking about at the CDT Summit at EclipseCon.

And, yeah, that’s not quite at the standard of UX I am trying to reach ;)

You can set MINGW_HOME variable in preferences then the wizard will find the toolchain. There is a screenshot at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn82#Improved_toolchain_detection. Note that $MINGW_HOME/bin gets prepended to the $PATH in project with MinGW toolchain.
Thanks,
Andrew
