IMO, no.  That would imply that it requires MSYS-1.0.18, which it 
doesn't; (I've been using it with earlier versions, for a couple of 
years now, in my workplace, but just never got around to publishing, 
before now).

All of its dependencies are designated as MSYS-1.0.13 vintage.  It may 
well work with even earlier versions, but I'm not confident in saying 
that it will; I AM confident that it will work, as intended, with all 
versions from MSYS-1.0.13 onward.  The chosen package name reflects this.
