[Mono-dev] Windows build

[Jonathan Chambers]

I started looking at using msys to build mono a few months ago. I got
distracted by some other things (mainly the beginning of the Win64 port),
but I would be willing to pick it up again if there is interest. It would
probably be a good thing, IMO.

Thanks,
Jonathan
