I'm maintaining those, and there are public repositories here [1,2].
The've also been merged into the workshop-template repository [3,4].

msysGit has a compiler (since it's used to build Git).  I'm not sure
how they handle package dependencies, but you might want to check
there first before moving off to other installers (since then you
don't have to figure out how to integrate the externally-installed
Perl with msysGit's Bash shell).
