Nice!

I do most of my development in Python and C. Up until now, I've been
using MinGW32 + MSYS 1.0, and compiling Python extensions with VC 9.0
(same compiler as Python was compiled with). It has worked for a
while, but I had to migrate to MinGW-w64 because of lack of support
for some functions in MinGW, and then I ran into problems with cross
CRT memory management :-/ So, being a unix-y guy, I decided to go
MinGW all the way, and MSYS2 is making things so much easier :-) I
just compiled PyQt4 and SIP4 and got my program running, I'm about to
make an executable with it and test it.

So far so good! I don't quite get how to make those PKGBUILD scripts,
but hopefully I can contribute the recipes for PyQt4 and SIP4, maybe
some others could find them useful.


Cheers,
