Re: [feature/internal-msys] thoughts of a more function windows package

Sorry for late reply, but I think that while bundling msys2 is a good 
idea in theory, in practice it would turn into a complete nightmare. The 
problem, just like with bundling any third party components is that you 
have to maintain them. If you bundle the latest and shiniest msys2, you 
can never be sure if it's really properly working for our use cases. And 
if you bundle some pretested version, you run into "hey, please fix bug 
A, the upstream has already fixed it", but we can't switch to upstream 
due to bug B.

Msys2 sort of missed the boat in that they took pacman, but didn't 
bother with making their own AUR.
