[mythtv] Win32-packager.pl error--problem with path?

[buzz]

This problem comes about from user-error during the post-install component
of MSYS, which ask you to type in the path to your MinGW install.    It
gives a sample path containing forward-slashes, and you've entered your
mingw path with backslashes.

Maybe the packager should test for this?   it would be easy-enough.

Buzz.
