Have you ever planed to have a "POSIX" root folder? i.e. a folder like
c:\POSIX which contains "bin" "usr" "etc" ...
And why don't you ship mingw/msys in that folder with all standard
reactos distributions ?
Because:
1) It is the first step for developing reactos in reactos ...
2) All unix-like applications can be installed there and will not have
to create each time their own POSIX tree.
3) It is to be ready to a massive port of gnu softwares that don't need
a full POSIX compliant OS.
4) It is mandatory for a future POSIX subsystem.
5) It is cool and sexy.
