It's bootstrapping now with cmd.exe, and is looking fine so far.

Yes, but.  MSYS is actually a fork of Cygwin, and behaves very similar
to it.  Specifically, in this case it supports the jobserver method of
running parallel jobs, which is not yet implemented in the native
Windows build.  So with MSYS Make, you don't need to use the XMFLAGS
trick (although using it shouldn't hurt).
