MSYS2 is Cygwin-like. It tries to emulate a Unix on Windows. It's great for
porting Unix software to Windows and I love that it gives me a bash and
pacman for when I need to develop on Windows. But it's emulation, like:

$ pacman -Su

This happens because msys-2.0.dll keeps a shared memory segment between all
instances MSYS2 applications, so they behave as if they were in a Unix system.
Note that this is the MSYS subsystem, not a MinGW subsystem of MSYS2.
For building Windows applications, you use a MinGW subsystem, and there
is no msys-2.0.dll.
