well it took some time but conclusion so far is it should be ok.
there are a few packages that use other licenses than gpl but else adhere to public domain.
so i guess i can say im certain there wont be any problems arising from using my package.
well gave me some time to fix a few buggers i discovered meanwhile also.
as for fixes.
pythons regular expressions had to be patched since it broke with newer libtool (unable to parse long strings).
guile took me a while to hunt down a regression i had when building it with newer gcc (needs -P option in guile-snarf) seems to work ok after that fix.
additions gtk2_prefs for easy changing of gtk theme engines.
glade3 finally works.
updated webkit libraries older version worked but the gtk browser example had a nasty crash bug, new version works really good.
updated gimp (worked fine before but it seems the bug with glade was something from gimp interfering).
placed some wrapper executables in the base dir to start tools like openldap/postgresql servers, and for a few tools and examples.
msys/opt holds some tools like emacs perl kerberos gdc gvim and open caml (could have installed em in mingw folder but it would be a mess).
the perl in msys/opt is a win32 build and as thus wont allways play nice with configure scripts depending on perl. rename the folder to perly unless you need win32 perl.
and i added a seperate package as an addition to the other shells using my version of winbash. reason is that some tools like python doesnt like msys sh.exe in the least (path bug).
the win32 bash shell uses native windows paths (can actually replace cmd.exe if its in path) while also being able to execute shellscripts on windows. it does not work for configuring as it lacks fork support so dont try, use msys shell for that.
and gtk-doc actually works ... took me a bit by surprise, been hacking on that for 3 years flat then today i compiled a gtk program and it wrote the entire documentation as both omf and html :shock: and the help files can be opened from inside the program.
