Some projects depend on MSYS (or a proper shell) to be built correctly, and adding MSYS to this distribution could help it to become even more useful. I know your intention is not to distribute a complete development environment for C/C++/Fortran but for Python, but adding MSYS would enable us to do better shell scripting and building software that depend on this kind of environment.

This sounds awfully out of scope for a scientific Python distribution...

All scientific Python distributions I have used before (Canopy, PythonXY, Anaconda) include a C/C++/Fortran build environment. You are probably not aware that many scientific libraries written in Python (include here things such as Numpy, Scipy, scikit-learn) use a lot of native code wrapped by Cython/SWIG/ctypes.
