Well, Bash probably does this in its source somewhere.

It really won't work. At all. MSYS is a minimalistic and old Cygwin, which
is a POSIX software layer on top of Windows. The MSYS Bash is also at
version 3.2 or something. Cygwin has 4.2 if I'm not mistaken. MinGW !=
MSYS/Cygwin, it's native Win32, without any serious posix support.
MinGW-w64 fills some gaps, but it's impossible to have decent POSIX support
for native Win32.
I suggest you read up on Cygwin and MSYS before continuing this, if you do
after that at all. I tried it once too, it's a pain. You'd have to
rewrite/patch half of the Bash code due to POSIX assumptions (well, bash is
a POSIX shell, nothing weird about that).
