Msys is not a discussion topic for this mailing list.  If you want to
comment on Msys then use the appropriate msys mailing list.  When you do
this, you might ask them why, when you run the msys version of "sh" and
type "pwd" it reports something like "/usr/bin" or "/c" rather than
"C:\msys\1.0\bin" or "c:\", however.

This is your second warning on this subject, btw.
