I'm a mingw64bit user.
It's been a while since I installed msys/mingw64, so I may be out of
date.
I have no imagemagick installed in msys2, so it was (is?) not installed
by default (I'd be surprised if it is).
I suggest nt/INSTALL.w64 include instructions for installing Imagemagick,
and any other optional packages that can be installed from msys2 at this
time. And also a list of optional packages that must be gotten
elsewhere.
That way users following all the instructions get as complete an Emacs
as possible, and users wanting a smaller install can leave things out.
Currently, the list of packages to get from pacman lists some optional
packages, but not all, so the statement "you now have a complete build
environment for emacs" is misleading.
At the very least, there should somewhere be a _complete_ list of
optional packages; INSTALL.w64 could reference that list, rather than
repeat it.
One more point; under "run configure", it says installing Emacs to the
default "C:\msys64" is "not recommended". Why not?
If it's because there is an msys package that installs Emacs there, say
so. People need information to make informed choices.
