In the mean time there is not a 100% functional version, or for that
matter any Stable version, available for Windows users- and who knows
how long it will take for the MSys port to be ready? A month? 6? Is it
really much more work to prepare than just a simple compile & .zip using
a clean Cygwin install? It would be nice to release 6.2.1 for Cygwin
regardless of 6.3 native success. Also it helps to isolate bugs by
having two ports to test with, using different methods.
