Although MSYS is not perfect, it works fine on my experience for its
purpose: running configure scripts and makefiles. It is not something
you add to your PATH. Just open a terminal window, configure&&make,
done.
Obviously some changes are required for building native Windows
executables with Emacs' scripts and makefiles, but looking at past
experience with other projects, that is simpler than maintaining a
parallel system.
No, I'm not volunteering. I know nothing about autoconf. Some time ago I
volunteered to create a new build system based on CMake, at least for
replacing the Windows one, and it was dismissed as unnecessary.
