Please tell them about our perspective: the portability one. we write code which has to work on many different platforms, and each "feature" like that adds to our workload. ideally, there should be a way to make msys shell behave just like a vanilla bash on a vanilla unix, an environment variable being the most obvious choice. until they do that, I am afraid we will have to stick with recommending that people get cygwin and build clisp with $ ./configure --with-mingw ....
