Hi Alan,
Well, I feel comfortable with Cygwin, and from the point of using it, also with
MinGW (and to a lesser extent MSYS). Installing new stuff on MinGW is a bit of
a pain, as there is not a single point of entry like with Cygwin. I have,
however, hardly any experience with MinGW-w64/MSYS2, and the last time I looked
at it, it was even worse vis-à-vis available software than MinGW. But that may
have changed.

I have noted the priorities you propose. Well, it should be interesting - for 3
out of 4 of these, things work when you ask them nicely and pet them on their
heads once in a while (though sometimes they do bite). No. 2 is largely terra
incognita for me.

Arjen
