install.sh creates that environment for you, given the settings in
defaults.sh and optionally custom.sh.  The mingw32/gcc compiler
environment we set up consists basically of BINUTILS,
GCC_CORE, GCC_GPP, MINGW_RT, W32API, MINGW_MAKE and of course MSYS
which you need to run install.sh at all.

You will be able to run `make` within a subdirectory of BUILD_DIR of
choice and `${WIN32_PACKAGING}/make_install` to install it.  Feel free
to provide improvements here.

I have no clue and incentive to actually change that ;-)
