Thanks for mentioning it.  That's precisely what I did.  I had no idea
they had the msys2 project.  I was still using MinGW, therefore msys1.
In my mind, I'm still calling the project MinGW, not ``msys2''.

Anyway, I installed it, threw my msys1 away.  Things look brighter now.
I'm still to see if rash-repl.exe will run with the new library.  The
one that came was ``readline8.dll''  --- or something like that.  I'll
report back.  Thanks again!
