An uproar of cheers for it probably.  Most confusing bit of OS 
wizardry.  MSYS has been binary mode only since day 1.  With your 
advancements of 1.7 I would like to see MSYS disappear (or become a 
preconfigured Cygwin) but we'll see what the MinGW community will think 
of that.  Not too much maintenance activity on it and no one seems to 
have time to get out another real release.
