Can I release products using mingw, that don't create this "Couldn't  
reserve space for cygwin's heap" error for people trying to install  
msys?

If so... then what are Logitech doing wrong? How can I avoid falling  
into the same trap as them, and not make an app that makes msys  
impossible to install.
