I will have to look at this carefully ;). As well as your summarty of the
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 package management in general. What I wrote was the result of
empirical research. Your digging into the documentation should be quite
valuable - the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 environment is useful, but confusing.

I have not gotten around to that yet - ought to be simple enough, but currently
I compare the files manually (there is a compare command under Windows, but it
is downright useless - you cannot skip lines, nor will it compare lines, but
only bytes). I have been thinking of a small script to the job, but I have not
written it yet.

Hm, they have not popped up since then ...

Yes, I can do that - it is very simple and straightforward, but it might be
useful :).
