I still don't understand why msys is needed anyway.
We're compiling kdelibs / kdepimplibs & kdebase with cmake on a native cmd.exe environment with msvc and mingw and never had a need to use the msys shell.
I personally avoid this msys and write a small cmake script to get around the use of ./configure.
