Thanks for summarizing the changes and things to do. I'll respond to
this with more details later this evening, but only to the msysgit list.
(Interested parties are encouraged to join the list - see
http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit).

I've started to rearrange patches and separate out stuff that is not
MinGW specific, but this effort has stalled. I'm waiting for a new
notebook to arrive so that I can continue it during off-work hours.
