I've been working with mingw32, but I'm about to try the 64-bit compiler 
so I can try the --enable-64 option for Octave.

About the same, but msys-regex did not work for me because I couldn't 
figure out how to tell flex to find the header files and libraries since 
they are apparently installed in different location from other mingw 
headers and libraries and the compiler doesn't look there by default 
(weird, if you ask me).
