Ok, I see. So, the web site of the original MinGW at some point started
to distribute a mix between MinGW and MSYS. And in this case
  `uname -s` is MINGW*,
  $MSYSTEM is non-empty,
  cygpath is not present.

The proposed code will then branch into this statement:

              # Original MinGW environment.
              file_conv=mingw

Thank you. Karl, the three patches from the preceding mail are ready
to commit.
