installation with MSYS2

[vtorri]

With MSYS2 + mingw-w64, we can install stuff as it's an emulation of a POSIX system (I did that for lz4)

mingw-w64 32 bits : uname returns :
MINGW32_NT-6.1-7601

mingw-w64 64 bits : uname returns :
MINGW64_NT-6.1-7601

I don't have a MSYS2 system to test on, but if we want to support MSYS2 I see two things that we need:

1. We need a MSYS2 test in our appveyor CI. Otherwise it will bitrot and break.
2. We need to make installation work.

We're happy to accept PRs to that end.

i'll work on this soon

here is a first attempt. If it looks good, i can do a pull request this evening

mingw.zip

I think this could work @vtorri.
An important part will be to add a test in AppveyorCI to ensure that the capability works and does not bitrot in the future.

I'll do a PR this evening. The appveyor part could be added soon. I don't know appveyor, though.
