[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #4397: win32 dependancy resolver and build script

[buzz]

Simon,
unfortunately, due to the fact that this tool is essentially a
bootstrap-loader for a msys environment, during the early stages, when msys
isn't installed, we can only rely on the very basic operating system tools,
ie DOS "mkdir", which doesn't support a -p option, and can't recursively
make folders with it's mkdir command unless the DOS environment was started
with -x ("cmd.exe -x") to enable extensions.    Forcing people to do that is
harder that writing a subroutine to get around it with a foreach loop in
perl.
:-)
