I glossed over that detail since they aren't very useful for users (require elevated administrative privileges to create and change). Also, see why they are useless for Cygwin: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-10/msg00756.html I suspect the same problems would appear if you were to try and use them from within MSys. Maybe symbolic links from Windows into Cygwin/MSys would work, however. I'll have to try that some time, it would probably make integration with NTemacs a bit smoother.
