I think what some of us want is to actually get a fully self-contained
setup going. And ideally document this so others can do that as well.

Otherwise I'm quite happy with my cross build setup - that works and
doesn't require me to deal with Windows more than absolutely
necessary... I just figured that with the complete reset of libraries
(well, almost complete) maybe it's more feasible to look into native
again

I think the handful of libraries we need should be reasonably easy to
rebuild...
(famous last words)

Have that

THANK YOU!!!! I have been missing that and nothing I found anywhere
ended up working.

msys makes things feel more like 'at home' for Linux folks :-)

cool. I have my work cut out for me (or for that little Ultrabook
sitting next to me)

Cool

I assume these are forthcoming? :-)
