On checking, it looks like I could be mistaken about that.

I was basing that statement on the wiki at
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS :

#####################################
To install 3rd party library and applications which uses the autotools build
system the following commands are often used.

./configure --prefix=/mingw
make
make install

Installing to "/usr/local" should be avoided, since the MinGW compiler won't
look there by default.
#####################################

Maybe "/mingw" is not the same as "msys/1.0/mingw" ... perhaps it's
someplace else in the msys tree.

Anyway, I've always just let stuff go into /usr/local.
Besides, if one wants the stuff in /usr/local to be found by default one 
could just set the CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variables 
appropriately:
export CPATH=/usr/local/include:/usr/local/ssl/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib

If it's working ok (and it sounds like it is), I would happily leave it be.

Cheers,
Rob
