Yes, when you develop msys programs, you must use msys-autoconf. Msys 
uses Cygwin installation paths, which tries to be "same as Linux".

Alexey works on MSYS. He proposed new msys packages. mingw32 is not in 
question here.

When you build mingw32 programs you must use mingw32-autoconf. That's 
the point.
If you develop only for msys, then you can ignore mingw32-autoconf.
