Yeah, but usually we build for the target ABI i686 and on my system MSYS2 is x86_64. If I would use grep.exe from my MSYS2 shell, it would be x86_64 and so not usuable for users with a 32bit Windows system.

But yeah, maybe we can even pull the dependencies from Pacman instead. I will have a look at this post-1.29.
