Second version of my patch.  Please let me know if I forgot something.

--Zem
===========================================================================
When building FFMPEG in the MSYS environment under Windows, one must not use forward slashes ('/') for command-line options.  It appears that the MSYS shell interprets these as absolute paths and then automatically rewrites them into equivalent Windows paths.  For example, the '/nologo' switch below gets rewritten to something like 'C:/Program Files/Git/nologo', and this obviously breaks the build.  Thankfully, most M$ tools accept dashes ('-') as well.

I believe this looks good, thanks. I'll give it another try (in a day or 
two), and push it once I've done that if it works fine.
