It's MinGW; the "Minimalist GNU for Windows". Msys is part of MinGW, but
is only used while building. Some of the MinGW DLLs are packaged with
mtn in the Win32 installer; the installer is self-sufficient, so users
don't need a separate MinGW installation.

Ok.

See INSTALL_windows_cygwin.txt for some info. Lapo is maintaining it in
his repository. I assume the license allows me to copy it into the
monotone repository, but I'll let him respond first.
Currently it's a branch; it.lapo.cygwin.ports. I'll look into whether it
makes sense to keep it a branch (like Debian is), or move it into a
directory, probably monotone/cygwin (parallel to monotone/innosetup for
MinGW).
