Now back to the worries of Keith. As far as I see, msys-autoconf did not 
have specific msys patches. Only some patches from Debian, which were 
dropped by Debian in version 2.69. So I think that the packages I made 
are good for building msys programs.

Perhaps there is more need to update the mingw32- autotools, but I don't 
have the time to do all that. I plan to work on ncurses packages soon.
