In fact, this is a good question.  I'm not really that knowledgable about 
MinGW but it seems that there are three shells you might want to use: 
cygwin, mingw and the normal windows shell.  I built chicken with MSYS with 
uses forward slashes (although it horribly [or nicely depending on your 
point of view!] mangles the rest of the windows path, e.g. c:\chicken 
becomes /c/chicken).  This being the case, I should presumably not apply the 
patch and install all the extensions I want from MSYS.  I'll try that.

Thanks,

Ian
