Allmost totally complete docbook system for Msys.

Ported OpenSP OpenJade and Ghostscript to msys.
Ported cygwins docbook package to MSys (depends on the above).
Ported A few dependent libraries like jpeg png and jbigkit to Msys.
Added GPG signing to docbook via gcrypt and gpg-error.

All tested and working you can now do xml or postscript based documentation for your projects via Msys. The tools also work with MinGW. Output formats are html/ps/pdf/man/cgi or Texi for Latex.

Tzcode added (for timezone).

For MinGW i added bz2/zzip/readline/mysql client/and mpatrol for both MinGW32 and MinGW64.
Mysql client is a client interface to the real Mysql Database. You can use it instead of making import libraries from MySql's msvc dll's and it will probably work better to as the client libraries are compiled with MinGW.

ALso added cloog-isl shared build for Both MinGW32 and MinGW64 and ppl will be up later. These can be a bit hard compiling for people not use to working with gcc on windows.

Been updating my package a bit and made shortcut generation for some of the gui tools for python and some of the extras in Opt.
If your a new user you will then have access to tools like GVIM or Emacs directly from the start menu programs folder.

I have reworked my MinGW python a bit to also be able to generate documentation from several sources like latex or docbook.
Furthermore i have added mercurial and bazaar to the python packages. All user scripts are now accessed with python wrapper executables which makes them easy to use with MinGW in windows command mode.

Msys itself has had a few things added also like xmlsec and gnutls for xml security.

And added gnu ed as a prerequisite for latex documentation. You still need miktex portable for all formats though (theres litterally 1000's).

Lastly i added sun's java sdk setup for mingw and including some tools like ant java flex mysql-connector cck java-cup and the eclipse
IDE. A few tools in Msys rely on the java runtime for creating documentation.

New package will be up soon.

I havent been posting a lot lately, mostly due to starting work on the Msys2 port which i been at for the last few weeks.
Msys2 is now a reality and i got a positive discussion with the team who normally stands for Msys ports a first beta can be downloaded from my sourceforge server. Its still a lot like cygwin besides using Msys exports in the dll and old msys tools still work with it also, but should be updated if possible. The msys team might change the /cygdrive (called /sysdrive in Msys2) to fit the old msys but else it has precisely the same options cygwin has with some adjustments to accept the Msys structure.

The biggest thing with the new package is that Msys2 supports unicode names and so a lot of tools not normally buildable without hacking a lot of stuff out works.
