Correct on all accounts.

I don't think that would help for a GCS decision to mandate those tools:
they should be readily available everywhere, otherwise they can't be
considered necessary. Kind of a chicken-and-egg wrt. MSYS. :-)
(By the way, I believe there are other systems we need to check for
those tools, before actually proposing the GCS change.)
But your statement still helps: I may just want to venture into porting
those tools to MSYS when I have some time (sometime after 2.0 is done),
unless beaten to, of course -- the prospect of maybe having them
distributed when working is better than nothing. :-)

Done.

I don't think it bounced, it merely needed first-time approval. I did
that (and your post has shown up in the archives now); any further posts
of yours should go through without approval.

Fully understood. Sorry for the inconvenience -- spam has made this
necessary. (For archive completeness only: it is also possible to
subscribe and disable delivery, to forgo first-post moderation.)
Cheers,
