I wonder if we can install TL2016 from MSYS2 shell using the Perl script 
install-tl with the "-custom-bin" option.

BTW, I tried to build TL2016 many months ago with MSYS2/MINGW64 [1] and 
there were some build issues.. I tried to call attention [2] but none 
took care of it.

I think that TL W64 binaries can be created adding MSYS2/MINGW64 as new 
TL platform but it need the help of TL gurus.. (as we did when Cygwin 
was added...)

This could/should be one of the goals of the next 2017 release..

Ciao,
  Angelo.
