But these DLL issues shouldn't affect the local system, only the
distributed version, or am i wrong here?

Does MinGW / MSYS all the additional tools (in particular, bzip2, tar,
and patch)?

Ah, read a bit there, i see the instructions to get them.

Wouldn't using Cygwin make the task less complex because it's more of
a ``unified distribution'', as opposed to gather around various tools?
