Re: [Mingw-msys] UPDATED: 1.0.7-prerelease-2

Thanks Earnie.

	Just installed this latest pre-release.

	Some notes:  Apparently it is important to only use the Unix path references for pi.sh.  I think there should be 
a note made of that during pi.sh operation, otherwise, we may be getting lots of error reports, such as this one:

	If the user chooses to normalize the MSYS installation, then...

	eg.

	Assume that an existing Mingw installation is at d:\mingw-1.1 (Win32 path reference).

	If Unix path reference is not used then pi.sh fails (on execution of mv.exe) with the following error:

	"non-existent file:  d:\Mingw-1.1\bin\make.exe"

	...even when the file exists. (shell script needs to have "/d/Mingw-1.1" entered (minus quotes) instead of 
either "d/mingw-1.1" or "d:\mingw-1.1").  Otherwise, mv.exe can't seem to find "make.exe" within the Mingw-1.1\bin 
directory (Sounds like a limitation of MSYS supplied version of mv.exe).

	When pi.sh is completed, "make.exe' should have been either a) eliminated and/or b) renamed to mingw32-
make.exe within the original Mingw installation directory.  "make.exe" itself should not exist anywhere within 
d:\mingw-1.1\bin\.  Correct?
