Just had the opportunity to test today, and unfortunately, the MSYS2 package for 32-bit system doesn't seem to run on Windows XP (dwmapi.dll missing). The package was created on Windows 7 (64-bit), with mingw32. Unless I missed something important when building, we're stuck with the old devlibs for 0.92.x.

And I can also confirm that MSYS2 doesn't run on XP (the website claims it doesn't install, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't just an installer compatibility issue).
