msys isn't the Windows Way™ (read: open it through the MSVS IDE),
though, which is probably why 'native' was in quotes. *shrugs*

I don't particularly care; I always cross-compile x264 from a Linux
host.  However, CMake support would be nice for a cross-platform and
not Windows-specific reason: being able to use Ninja instead of Make.
Not that Ninja support couldn't somehow be added to x264's existing
build system, but with CMake, support for Ninja is pretty much
automatic.
