As part of an automated build, I assemble various MSYS and MinGW parts into
a whole having a final a structure similar to:
C:\DevKit-w64 <- extract all MSYS-y things under here
|- bin/
|- etc/
|- ...
|- mingw/ <- extract all MinGW-y things under here
|- bin/
|- i686-w64-mingw32/
|- mingw/
|- bin/
|- include/
|- lib/
|- lib32/
Currently my process simply extracts everything mingw-y under the
first-level mingw/ so that I don't need to play with /etc/fstab. I also
include a devkitvars.{bat,ps1} that allows a user to add
C:\DevKit-w64\bin;C:\DevKit-w64\mingw\bin to the front of their PATH.
The mingw32 dir at the top-level of the current rubenvb builds (aka -
intermediate mingw2) causes issues with the above.

No, no...definitely not talking about the lower mingw32 dirs.
