In the past, installing it has only taken a few minutes. That still looks to be the case for MinGW but it now appears that msys has been split into a confusing and long list of packages. I think that it needs a standard installer as well (in fact the combined MinGW/msys package needs one standard installer as I think it is rare these days to use one without the other.)
When I need a msys+mingw environment, I tend to turn to msysgit's netinstall package. The only downside to it that I've noticed is that you seem to get a git source tree for free when installing, as well as a spurious sdl-config binary. http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
