I would be VERY suprised if I really need:
    gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
    gcc-g77-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.tz
    gcc-java-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.tz
    gcc-objc-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.tz
    msys-1.0.10.exe
    msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
    msys-automake-1.8.2.tar.bz2
    msys-autoconf-2.59.tar.bz2
    msys-libtool-1.5.tar.bz2

I think you only need msys if you want to build gcc from sources (which I 
don't).
   g++ is C++
   g77 is FORTRAN
   java is (of course) Java
   objc is Objective C
