[Mingw-msys] Fwd: GNUStep/MS Windows

[Richard Frith-M. <ri...@br...>]

I got the message below from someone trying to build GNUstep with 
msys/mingw.

I remembered seeing something on the mailing list about stripping 
carriage returns
from /etc/profile, so I passed on that hint as a possible solution to 
his problem.

My question is ...
Is this a problem in the latest snapshot, and is it going to go away 
soon - or
should I update the GNUstep documentation to tell people to hack 
/etc/profile?
