--- msys_setup

- this is a set of scripts that setup an MSYS/MinGW environment on Windows and
  allows to compile libvirt and related libraries and tools



--- Is this what you're looking for?

- if you want a prebuilt Windows installer for libvirt, rather than compiling
  yourself, take a look at http://libvirt.org/windows.html



-- General MSYS/MinGW environment setup

- download wget.exe from http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/ and put it in
  the same directory as msys_setup.bat

- run msys_setup.bat to download and setup an MSYS/MinGW environment

  you'll see automated Windows Installer popups for 7zip and Python. the
  script is not actually installing something to your system, it just unpacks
  both into subdirectories for later use.

  when you have UAC enabled (Windows Vista and Windows 7) then Windows will
  ask you for confirmation, you need to allow 7zip and Python to get unpacked
