Maybe different strategies are needed for different times. I have
noticed the careful notes in INSTALL about certain parts of the tools.
Perhaps that could be extended a bit. I see three different current tool
packages on w32: GnuWin32, CygWin and MSYS+MinGW. I am not sure about
UnxUtilites, are they maintained? Staying with one of those for a
particular purposes may be the best.
In my case I have decided to go with GnuWin32+MinGW when building Emacs.
For run time program I am thinking about using MSYS instead since
sometimes sh is needed. (However I have not been able to build with
MSYS.) I've learned the hard way you should not mix the tools so if I am
using MSYS I make sure I put that first in the path (for example by
using (add-to-list <msys-path> 'exec-path) in Emacs). Currently I have
MSYS installed, but it is not on my path (except for sometimes inside
Emacs).

Eh, sorry too. I have it, the installation packages from GnuWin32 works
rathers seemlessly ;-)
