You describe what I think Earnie calls an "MSYS-dependent" build,
which would depend on the MSYS posix-emulation dll. You're correct:
that's not what I did. I built it using MSYS, but not msysdvlpr.
My native build does not depend on the MSYS dll. I don't plan to
use it in the MSYS shell anyway.

It would be good to have an MSYS-dependent build, too, of course.
