i'm going to _try_ to merge in #3871 but it's... the prospect of
sitting waiting for configure to take THREE hours to complete, due to
/bin/sh.exe instances taking TWO SECONDS _each_ to start up does not
really fill me with deep joy.
As from version 1.1.8 msys bash could be run in wine. May be wine issue
12046 is not enough to run a born shell in wine. The ash from pw32
projects (not updated in past 6 years :( ) work in wine but the problem
is same - it is to slow, even more.

it's all a bit odd - it still feels like things are being
cross-compiled... but they're not... it's just that setup.py has paths
that don't _quite_ match up with the msys environment...
You could use CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to point other locations.
Usually wine drive Z: is mapped to filesystem root and visible as /z in
msys.

the regression testing is _great_ fun! some of the failures are
really quite spectacular, but surprisingly there are less than
anticipated.
About 5 test fail in emulated environment due bugs in emulator.
May be some math tests fail. Python math tests are too strict for msvcrt
7.0/6.0 (default runtime). Simple work around is to use long double
functions from mingwex library.
Other work-around is to build whole python (including modules) with
msvcrt 9.0 but I'm not sure that I will publish soon technical details
about this build as "DLL hell" is replaces by "Assembly hell" (see
python issues related to vista and MSVC build).
