Now I wonder how to "correctly" set up an MSYS64 environment. I wonder if  
one better should try to install all required MinGW packages piece by  
piece, because:

{ http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/MSYS }
"There will never be a 64-bit native MSYS (is there any need?) because the  
only compiler capable of building MSYS applications is the outdated gcc  
3.4.4, which does not support x64 native Windows targets."

There are several guides how to make one. They are all a bit elaborate and  
slightly different. I am not sure if I want to take the efforts of trial  
and error with my lack of experience if I already have a working  
cross-compiling solution now.
