Three more things: 1) Is the WIN.readme.txt in examples/eigen/cmake incorrect, then?
2) The Rtools documentation specifies that the Rtools paths should come BEFORE cygwin paths. Is there a similar rule for MSys? 3) Should I continue to just used the MinGW installed with Rtools or should I/can I use a fresh install of MinGW?
