Hi Earnie.

Thanks for the new version of MSYS.

This installed OK for me and seems to be working OK except for the bug I
reported earlier about the current directory being prepended when execing in
shell scripts when a colon exists in the executable path eg:

--------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/h
exec g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/saved_gcl.exe \
   -dir g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/ \
   -libdir g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/ \
   -eval '(setq si::*allow-gzipped-file* t)' \
     "$@"
# other options: -load /tmp/foo.o -load jo.lsp -eval "(joe 3)"

--------------------------------------------------------

gives:

--------------------------------------------------------
$ gcl
/g/gclm/bin/gcl: /home/miketh/g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/saved_gcl.exe:
No such file or directory
/g/gclm/bin/gcl: exec:
/home/miketh/g:/gclm/lib/gcl-2.5.0/unixport/saved_gcl.exe: cannot execute:
No such file or directory
--------------------------------------------------------

I've altered the GNU Common Lisp makefile to use sed to patch the path as a
workaround.  I note that this problem doesn't exist in MSYS 1.0.7.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
