Not sure what you mean by interactively. A shellscript that does
distclean/configure/make qualify as non-interactive? If so....

Getting it in with the buildfarm would be great though ;-)

Certainly. Just start x:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe. To get the adjusted paths
(if you want ls and such tools), run
x:\msys\1.0\bin\sh --login -i

(msys.bat will actually do this if it doesn't find rxvt..)
