Sorry to burst your bubble but I named it msysDTK because it is
dependent on MSYS and added to the functionality MSYS provided.  Using
your argument of "it actually provided tools for Developing MinGW stuff"
we should call "MSYS" "MinGW" instead since MSYS does the same thing.
Therefore I don't think MSYS DTK is a *really* bad name but I don't care
that you changed the name to MinGW DTK because I do not maintain it and
it is just as *really* bad as MSYS DTK.
