The new "with-deps" build and installer of Emacs actually packages quite
a bit of msys2/mingw64 including, for example, a python
installation.
I am sure this is overkill, but it is there. How much of this actually
works (python does!) once it's been repackaged, I do not know. I'm not
likely to find out in normal use, so I'd welcome feedback.
