yes.

no

yes.

would be my answers (keep in mind that the other guys are the experts 
- I am an user).

You should use msys only for compiling packages. You can use it for 
running programs
but you can do it also with cmd (I do). I am pretty sure that a 
windows program will work as well with gsl
(I think I tried already the test hello program).

No problem, I can also try to pack a compiled version for try out.

(Dont worry about compiling packages with msys: either its easy or 
not working, just give it a try
and the list is helpful when it goes wrong)

Best regards,
Uwe
