I didn't need the ssl stuff, or cvs, or vim. In order to prune out the
unneeded stuff from the package I used this:

$  tar -xvz -f msysDTK-1.0.0-alpha-1.tar.gz \
--exclude='ssl/*' --exclude='share/vim/*' --exclude='lib/cvs/*' \
--exclude='include/*' --exclude='bin/s*'

Untested as of this writing. Apply this "tip" at your own risk.

This left the Autotools, and msys-perl (which ought to act pretty much
exactly like cygwin-Perl, right Earnie? Isn't your perl build very much
similar?) and so on.

Thanks again, Earnie, for the DTK.
