Both mingw.org ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ ) and
mingw64.sf.net
( http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ ) freely provide binaries 
of
gcc-4.x.x (including gfortran - a Fortran 95/2003 compiler), mpfr and gmp.

With mingw.org, the binaries are for 32-bit (x86) targets only. They also
provide a gcc-3.x.x binary, where the fortran compiler is, of course, the 
older g77 compiler.
Not sure if they provide *both* 4.x.x-built and 3.x.x-built binaries of gmp
and mpfr.

Mingw64.sf.net provide binaries for both x86 and x64 targets, gcc-4.x.x
only.

Yes - the mingw64 and/or mingw mailing lists. (Btw, mingw64 and mingw are
separate vendors.)

Yep - the binaries should be fine with any recent flavor of windows.

I'm not part of either of those mingw projects - best to check directly with
them for more definitive information.
