Ok,

1) msys.bat still kills the previous window
   msys.bat needs to change from
:startsh
start sh --login -i
exit

   to just
:startsh
sh --login -i

(start <cmd> opens a new CMD window, and exit kills the current one)

2) If $HOME is set to the normal home directory of the user (which I
have, but I doubt it's common)
      C:\Documents and Settings\<username>
   then you'll have problems with spaces in path, so the
      make install
   actually fails. So, next time you start msys.bat, it will try to do
the installation step again. I don't think we have to care about that
right now. The current setup work fine for now. I'll play around a bit
with it, and we'll see.

3) When "Setting up git" the second time, it feels like the whole thing
is hanging; have let it run for ~5min now without anything happening.
Not sure what's going on here. It looks like git.exe was ran with any
options, but that should not consume 100% CPU.. Hmm

4) When using the install, I get
marius@STORM /git
$ git init
warning: templates not found C:/msysGit/share/git-core/templates/
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/

Probably due to the "Setting up git" step not completing.
