The main thing I prefer about my approach is that it lets me use
"makepkg-mingw" unmodified, so (a) I don't have to extract the build
command from the PKGBUILD file, tweak it, and then run it manually,
and (b) it generates package archives that i can then unpack into my
own target location (e.g. on a USB memory stick or similar). It's
possible that I could work around this with sufficient understanding
of makepkg (I'm still reading the manpages for anything beyond basic
usage, so I'm definitely not an expert yet...)

But yes, having a whole msys2 environment just for a build of a few
packages is probably overkill :-)
