I'm working on it, from my point of view (which includes examining the
"installed" perspective).
I've had now since I adopted Msys2, a well-working cmake system that
applies equally to mingw/msys,
mingw32/msys2, and mingw64/msys. All with the standard cmake executable
and with only a few
module replacements.
