this thoroughly confuses me. 

Does it require MSYS? If yes, where can I find the MSYS source code?

What does it mean that: 

However, it is important to remember that NO executables other than
what ships with MSYS should be placed in the MSYS " bin"
subdirectory. Therefore, do not attempt to "merge" the two packages.

If this is true, this will mess up my installers.
