I don't think this discussion is even appropriate for the cygwin-talk
list.  While msys may be somewhat related to cygwin, I have to draw the
line at discussions about msys and mingw here.

If you're having msys or mingw issues there are much better mailing lists
to use than ones with the word "cygwin" in them.
