this thoroughly confuses me.

Does it require MSYS? If yes, where can I find the MSYS source code?

What does it mean that:

However, it is important to remember that NO executables other than what ships with MSYS should be placed in the MSYS " bin" subdirectory. Therefore, do not attempt to "merge" the two packages. (http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-msys)

If this is true, this will mess up my installers.
