-If you start a bash from the MSYS environment, please make sure that the
-Microsoft Development tools are in your PATH right after the MinGW
-tools. The LIB.EXE tool is the only one needed. You need this only if
-you want to build DLLs that work with native Windows programs. If you
-don't have any Microsoft Development tools on your machine, consider
-at least to get the free "Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition".
-It contains the LIB.EXE tool. You may also use this compiler to test
-writing native Windows programs using the ncurses DLLs without using
-MinGW then for writing apps.

-Please unset the TERM environment variable, so that the Console driver
-gets activated.
+The TERM environment variable must be set specially to active the Windows
+console-driver. The driver checks if TERM is set to "#win32con" (explicit
+use) or if TERM is unset or empty (implicit).
