Certainly... probably I just edited the old code rather than copy-paste
the new one...

I agree. Is it possible in sh too to do it this way ?

I have attached the updated patch as
file #34939 <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=34939>

FYI, I have also open the question of what MikTeX is exactly doing on
the MikTeX user mailing list

https://sourceforge.net/p/miktex/mailman/miktex-users/thread/DUB109-W135533811C5812A87D474E984470%40phx.gbl/#msg34476007

Let us see what Christian will feedback. Very funny : his first reaction
was to tell that MikTeX is not an Msys program, probably there was a
misunderstanding on what I meant, he certainly thought that I was
meaning "built using the MSYS autoconfiture" (FYI, in French "confiture"
means "jam").

   Vincent.
