Msys specific usr/bin and local/bin.

At that particular occasion I started it from mingw64 console as it
comes with msys2.

Yeah, I know I can set env vars in system props or via some script
:), I ment if Emacs can figure it out on it's own. It seems a bit
annoying if path will vary depending on how I start Emacs and it gives
different behaviour later on, so setq after start seems to work best for
me, at least I have total control what Emacs will see after start.
Thanks for help.
