If it would help, I also build Emacs with MSYS2. I have not been using
the PKGBUILD script, but it doesn't look hard.

So I can help with testing. I have Windows 8.1 64 bit, with msys2
mingw64 installed; I can install mingw32 if we want to test there.

One thing I'd like to fix; my build of emacs 25 does not display png
files. The binary pretest install does. I'd like to figure out the
difference.
