This is a pretty awful response. The MSYS2 part of my answer, the part OP tried
is certainly possible. When Cygwin package maintainers are ignoring serious
package issues for months:

- http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-07/msg00055.html
- http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-expat/issues/1
- http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-lua/issues/1
- http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-nghttp2/issues/1
- http://github.com/cygwinports/mingw64-x86_64-pcre/issues/1

it is not wrong to seek a sane alternative, which this is. You certainly can mix
these as in this case we are not involving the Cygwin DLL. To J (OP), if you
want a real answer and not this brush off, repost your question here and I will
try to work with you:

http://github.com/svnpenn/glade

as technically your original question has already been answered (by me), and
your new issue is outside the scope of this mailing list.
