MSYS for the shell

it compiles fine with emacs 22.2.1

I got the following errors which if fixed by compiling with emacs 22:

mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `d:/IVAN/emacs/lib-src'
mingw32-make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../lisp/language/european.elc', 
needed by `DOC'.  Stop.
mingw32-make: *** [all-other-dirs-gmake] Error 2

And then this at the end of the compile, emacs 22 did no help so I
remove the files from the makefile:

In toplevel form:
quail/PY.el:88:1:Error: End of file during parsing

In toplevel form:
quail/ZIRANMA.el:102:1:Error: Invalid read syntax: ") or . in a vector"

In toplevel form:
quail/CTLau.el:52:1:Error: End of file during parsing

Take care,

If it works, it's obsolete.
