I mostly took Stefan’s suggestion as a joke, as bundling MSYS2 with Emacs
would be a way to get MSYS2 past pesky Windows system administrators.
That was, at least, what I had in mind when I replied.
If one has enough "rights" on a Windows PC to install MSYS2 that’s
probably the most preferable approach if one ordinarily works on GNU/Linux
systems (or so I imagine, I have never actually tried MSYS2).
