really, I DO build Emacs on MSYS2 with that _PKGBUILD_ [*]. It is on 
GNU/Linux and on OSX which I use some other recipe (my build scripts..)

Regarding the image.c.diff and lread.c.diff patches...

If I remember correctly, when the mingw*imagemagick port is installed, 
'configure' tries to "build" using the imagemagick support and the build 
fails if those patches are not applied.. Maybe the patches fix the build 
with imagemagick support. But is it a real support or only a workaround 
so that the build is completed, apparently adding the support for 
imagemagick?

I have this doubt..


Ciao,
 Angelo.
