Thanks. I didn't know MSYS, and I got it to work now, just out of
curiosity.

Building LibXML2 (prerequisite for LibXSLT) fails, however:

          \,,,/
          (o o)
------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------
$ ./configure --prefix=/g/Opt/LibXML2
...

$ make
...
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./include -I./include  -D_REENTRANT    -DWIN32 -g -O2 -pedantic -W -Wformat -Wunused -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wchar-subscripts -Wuninitialized -Wparentheses -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wredundant-decls -MT testThreads.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/testThreads.Tpo -c -o testThreads.o testThreads.c
testThreads.c: In function 'main':
testThreads.c:110:6: error: conversion to non-scalar type requested
-------------------------

I currently don't need to build it, so this is not a request for help,
merely informational.

If configure.js isn't expected to work, shouldn't it be removed from the
distribution and the docs updated accordingly to point unsuspecting
users at MSYS?
