...Because MSYS is package that contains all tools and scripting
languages needed by autoconf/automake. It contains a bash shell and
some useful command line tools. It can replace cmd.exe or command.com
under Windows. But if you wish to use autoconf/automake you'll
probably need MinGW compiler system :

The cygwin evironment also includes autoconf/automake.
Probably you know the URL :
