Awesome! After using tar under cygwin (I originally used a program called
7-zip) to re-extract all the files to c:\mw64, all the files appear to be
normal.
One thing I noticed, there was no make.exe available. Perhaps its not supposed
to be included? Anyway, Since I have msys/mingw installed, I set my path to:
PATH=C:\mw64\bin;c:\msys\1.0\bin;%PATH%
And I now have access to make, m4, and various other things needed by gmp. Is
this the correct thing to do?

I have another question, which may or may not belong on another list, but, is
it
possible to run shell scripts (./configure or ./config.guess)? Now that I type
this I'm thinking I should maybe run sh. Ok, just tried that and when I run ls
or dir it gives errors such as:
sh-2.04$ ls
C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe: *** fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0x480000 - 0x68
0000, Win32 error 0
0 [main] sh 6992 sync_with_child: child 8544(0x2C0) died before
initializa
tion with status code 0x1
1922 [main] sh 6992 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
Perhaps my sh is too old? I'll try to update that here shortly.

Yup, my fault. The first program I tried was 7-zip. Apparently I'm not using
it correctly. :) Or, maybe it's faulty! ;)

And thank you for the quick (and very helpful) reply! Please let me know what
you (or anyone else) think about my above questions.
