I wonder why the MSYS installer tells you not use use the MinGW make.   
There is even a check in the MSYS installer that checks to see that you  
are not using the MinGW make.  But actually, the MinGW make did work  
better for me too.

FYI: I didn't find a "curl" for MSYS/MinGW, but Cygwin's has been  
working fine for me.
