Works great! This was a life-saver, thanks for posting.

MSYS2 already have ansible package support, just type pacman -S ansible on your MSYS2 terminal 😀

@Alex1a it didn't have it or didn't work very well 2 or 3 years ago ( I'm not even sure when I wrote this gist initially )

Build configurations are inspired by these and other instructions, I'm just leaving things documented. Thank you

mmm.. yes fair point. sorry if I seemed snappy. would it be better for me to delete / update the gist?

of course not, is a good reference. thank you for sharing
