While I was at it, I finally went and documented Cygwin-to-MinGW cross-compilation here, which I've been meaning to do for a while. |
these are incapable of building libuv, but can build everything else
Replace old-and-busted MSYS1 instructions, no one should be using MSYS1 any more.

where? the issue is when you have a long PATH, git likes to fork into every entry in it for some reason, the workaround is temporarily setting PATH to only /usr/bin for the purposes of calling git

cygwin and msys-target compilers are incapable of building libuv, but can build everything else - saves user time and frustration to check for them up front and error early. ref #8488 and #6234
