I'm not sure why MSYS is so different and tricky than cygwin or other unix-like system. I will try to figure it out when I have the time.

> I think if I kept at it, and plugged in more hardcoded paths into configure.ac as with zlib, I might get further. However, the need to work around so many bugs is particularly concerning, especially when the main reason I'm looking at libgd is to evaluate if it is suitable for my project. I can't afford to sink so much time into libgd. :( As such, I think I'll stop here for now. I'm happy to try out and provide feedback on any future versions though, check out fixes in CVS, release candidates, so forth. Just let me know.

I like to already thank you for testing it, I greatly appreciate your efforts!

As I said it works using CMake in a normal cmd.exe with MingW. That is enough to build a MSys/MingW binary (even for VC6 in non threaded environment). Once I'm done with the actual development fo 2.1 I will make it work smoothly (hopefully) for Msys.
