$arch specify MSYS architecture
This is my experimental repo and I prefer to not install any mingw packages
from here while I done it.

Now I'm working on creating mingw toolchains that can be installed via
pacman.
I already create two separate bat files in msys root - mingw32_shell and
mingw64_shell that switch PATH variable to support mingw toolchains.
I will install mingw toolchains into /mingw32 and /mingw64 folders. And
they do not conflict in this case.
When you run mingw32_shell then PATH=/mingw32/bin:$PATH

both 32 and 64 bit mingw toolchains in one msys in few days I think.
