Thanks for you help. It seems to be ok now.

I did install mingw32-make into the default install directory. That is 
the mingw dir, e.g. c:\program files\mingw32. Changing the installation 
dir manually to c:\program files\mingw32\mingw worked. Now, I have 
command line options of mingw32-make, too.

I also install msysDTK. Are there install contraints for this package?

The how-tos I found described that packages have to be deflated into the 
/mingw dir but I didn't know that I also have to do this for the exe 
installers. I'm still not sure how to handle the packages named msys*, 
like msys-libtool. Do I have to install them into / or /mingw?
