Hello, I've recently needed to use some packages that were not available in 
the WinRPM repositories but were in MSys2's mingw64 repo. I naturally set 
out to build a package provider for MSys2, after some work figuring out 

The github repository is located at https://github.com/barcharcraz/MSys2.jl 
and I'd love for a few people to try it before I submit a pull request for 
METADATA.

The build file will download and extract all of msys2 to a local directory, 
and then update. It's a pretty large download (in the hundreds of 
megabytes) so
try not to build the package on a slow connection.

After downloading the distribution package the build script updates the 
repositories, installs the latest version of pacman, then upgrades all 
packages twice.
I need to do two calls to upgrade because when msys2 updates its runtime 
you need to restart the shell.
