5489,Win7: Bootstrapping 7.3 from 7.2.1 using msys git 1.7.6 causes integer-gmp ./configure to fail,btutt,igloo,"Following the getting started instructions and the approximate suggested path for my .profile. 

I ended up with flex.exe being found in the Git installation directory.

My work around was to:
uninstall msys
Install MinGW/MSys from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20110530/

DO NOT download the latest catalogues. They've uploaded a gcc-4.6.x compiler so beware. I didn't bother trying so beware. :)

Path to set in .profile so that flex gets picked up:
/c/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin:/c/MinGW/bin:<....>

This allowed the integer-gmp ./configure to succeed.
