Installing Alternate DataModel using ./configure doesn't work on MSys2

[aamirglb]

I'm compiling the libpostal library on Windows 11 using MSys2/MinGW tool chain.
I'm following the Windows Installation Steps given in the README.

Installation With An Alternative Data Model section in the README specify that passing MODEL=senzing to ./configure will install the alternate data model from Senzing Inc, but passing MODEL=senzing to configure script has no affect in MSys2 environment. It still install the default data model from https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal/releases/download/v1.0.0.

For debugging purpose, I configured and compiled the library twice, once without specifying MODEL=senzing and once passing MODEL=senzing, while collecting the model data in two different directories. When I compare both the data directories they are exactly the same (both are 1.84 GB) and the contents are also the same.

On Ubuntu 24.01 LTS, ./configure MODEL=senzing works fine and it downloads the Senzing Inc's data model (2.19 GB).
So, passing MODEL=senzing works fine on Linux environment but doesn't work in MSys2/MinGW environment.

can raise this on the https://github.com/senzing/libpostal-data. Also possible to just do --no-data-download and download the files from their links manually.

the command is actually this :
./configure --disable-data-download
found using

./configure --help
