Ok for headers; I unstalled all msys-lib* packages and /usr/lib is now 
empty as well. Good.

Ok.

I will try not to use pre-compiled for now.

I will have quite a few scripts (wget, unpack, patch, configure, make, 
make install) for various libs; will post it somewhere later. Perhaps 
someone will find it useful.

Yes, I meant building 64bit make with mingw-w64. Currently, the "make" 
binary is the i686-pc-msys one. I will keep using it, then.

Good pointer, thanks. Not clear how to disable Catalyst, having an ATI 
graphics card, though.

Cheers, Václav
