Johannes, can we please try my patch[1] for msys.dll not to load 
user32.dll for every msys program (i.e. sh.exe too)? Combined 
together with 3 clipboard functions removal (details in [2]) from 
sh.exe, I bet this will result in significantly faster shell 
startup, configure runs, etc...

This days I have lack of access to windows machines, only wine, so I 
desperately need someones help to at least first rebuild msys.dll.

[1] http://repo.or.cz/w/msys/kirr.git/commitdiff/f7d7efebd35e8e5bf6d685ff4f1197941984be04
[2] http://repo.or.cz/w/msys/kirr.git/commitdiff/a97bed5d22f9c05f39776d8ea7856db4ce572dc5

For [1] please do

git://repo.or.cz/msysgit/kirr.git ks/no-user32-in-msysdll       # into msys

Too late. I already did the work.

Three things:

[2] does not apply cleanly, so I am still desperately trying to find some 
time to finish it off (the patches are to msys.git, not the 'msys' branch 
of msysgit.git, so I had to find a quarter an hour in order to put them 
there in the first place, taking up all the Git time budget I wanted to 
allow myself for this week).

For [2] please do

    git pull git://repo.or.cz/msysgit/kirr.git ks/xser32.dll    # into devel

Again, too late. I already did the work.

Further, I think that my beloved Shift+Insert will no longer work with 
your [2].

Probably yes,

In my experiment after rebuilding msys-1.0.dll, it still works.

And lastly, in [2] you claim that you cross-built msys-1.0.dll. I 
would like to have a script doing that in msysgit.git.

This is in progress. Preliminary stuff (cross-built msys.dll no longer needs
mingwm10.dll), is here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit/kirr.git/shortlog/refs/heads/ks/crossmsys

Thanks, I will try to find some time to test this next week.

The problem for now is that when I time /share/msysGit/run-tests.sh, there 
is hardly any gain from your patches:

Old:


real    18m1.031s
user    6m17.861s
sys     19m25.257s

New:

real    17m54.500s
user    6m12.319s
sys     19m28.567s

Ciao,
