possible workarounds for mingw setup

[unknown-1]

Hi Michel,

A partial work around could be if the installer patches the drive character in the installation. So an end user can, at install time, decide wether it is C:\msys D:\msys etc. Still no solution for networks etc, but it might work for a lot of users. (I didn't check this!)

A work around might be to create a psppire.bat file which starts psppire.exe. When you create a shortcut to this psppire.bat and change the propertie to start the psppire.exe minimized, it is still ughly, but much less annoying.

Have fun
