Thanks. I made the switch now, everything seems to be working.
BTW, I asked this question because I was once bitten by this when I installed
Emacs on Linux using Homebrew. Turned out that Homebrew on Linux is a purely CLI
affair. (It's cool that Emacs can run on the console, but I do prefer the gooey
version...)

I think I saw it mentioned somewhere that they were built with MSYS2. But I
understand now that it's possible to build MinGW binaries with MSYS2, so that
doesn't mean anything.
Thanks for your help, I have a much better idea of what I'm doing now.
