I don't keep an eye out for MinGW and MSYS, so that probably may be the 
case already.
It should be mentioned in the docs if it isn't

I'm pleased to announce that this fixes the problem. I tested it on the 
following combinations of environments, compilers, and UNIX_TOOLS. In 
all cases, the result was a success.

Environment Compiler UNIX_TOOLS
Cygwin       MinGW     1
Cygwin       MSVC6     1
DJGPP        DJGPP     0 (*)
DJGPP        DJGPP     1
DJGPP        MSVC6     0 (*)
DJGPP        MSVC6     1

(*) Note that when I tested it in DJGPP without the environment variable 
UNIX_TOOLS, I still had the actual unix tools installed in my DJGPP/bin 
directory.
