AFAIK, MSYS is not a full suite of ports, its purpose is to provide an
environment for running configure scripts.  Also, it has some
Cygwin-style maladies which could be a pain on Windows (for example,
Diff uses binary I/O, and thus compares files different when they only
differ in their end-of-line format, Newline vs CRLF).
