Emacs for MSYS2

[Alexander Shukaev]

Hello, everyone!

This is to announce that I have finally finished adding Emacs as a package
to MSYS2. Packages corresponding to the stable `emacs-24' branch are called
`mingw-w64-i686-emacs' and `mingw-w64-x86_64-emacs' for x86 and x64
architectures respectively:

$ pacman -Ss emacs
> mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-emacs 24.4-1 [installed]
>     The extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display
> editor.
> mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-emacs 24.4-1 [installed]
>     The extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display
> editor.


The set of features is at its current possible maximum:

Packages corresponding to the bleeding-edge `trunk'/`master' branch are
called `mingw-w64-i686-emacs-git' and `mingw-w64-x86_64-emacs-git' for x86
and x64 architectures respectively. They might be not present in the
database yet due to the issues with building them (as `trunk'/`master' were
broken yesterday). So when those recent issues are fixed, they will appear
in the database too.

Enjoy,
Alexander
