<p>Nice idea actually.<br>
Unfortunately, I was not able to get MSYS2 running. Recent MSYS2 versions seem to require Windows 7 features which are not present in ReactOS (maybe not yet). Older MSYS2 versions can be installed but the terminal is empty and so unusable.</p>

<p>These problems might get fixed in ReactOS or can be even solved by configuration or anything. But this would require some time for debugging and experimenting.</p>
