Version 5 of Msys

Updated 2003-09-17 12:38:28

"Msys is just a native compiled bash plus some other native compiled gnu tools. . . . The point is there is a minimal posix-style command line environment that should just be enough to run configure scripts. Unlike cygwin which gives you a full linux-style command line and runtime environment. . . . It's a minimal cygwin. . . . The main issue is that the configure result is suitable for mingw gcc to generate native compiled binaries."
