I'd heard that MSYS was purely an interactive shell, based on the assumption that you'd always be running 'make' from the supplied rxvt terminal, and the docs that came with it mostly reinforce that impression. This would make it pretty useless as an external tool for an editor. If, as seems to be the case, you can also run the sh.exe directly or specify it as the system shell inside your makefile, MSYS gets a *lot* more attractive.
Please help me correct your confusion. At what point does the documentation need improved?
Thanks, Earnie.
