on line 573 you strip off the msys prefix with
$t =~ s#^$msys##i;
and then later on
$cmd = "chdir $d2 && $msys/bin/tar.exe -jxvpf $t";
but this generates an error:
cmd:cddir C:\\MinGW\\ && C:/msys/1.0//bin/tar.exe -zxvph
sources/mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz
not the missing / on the file passed to tar
it then gets a file not found error
