+Problems
+====================================
+
+- Freeciv linked against readline in msys2 does not work.
+ Either avoid installing libreadline-devel package to your msys2
+ environment at all, or configure freeciv with --without-readline
+
+- Freeciv with Native Language Support does not build.
+ Use configure option --disable-nls

+====================================
Instructions used with msys1 below. These need to be updated:
- pacman used instead of hg
