As far as I understand it the idea is to cross compile from GNU/Linux
to MS Windows using GNU/Linux and Werner's hacked MingW.  I guess this
is matched closer by Cygwin+MinGW.  I suggest not to bend over
backwards to get it working in MSYS (unless you want to improve MSYS
until it is capable of doing the job).
