I already have MinGW and MSYS installed;

The problem turned out to be gettext; I found a copy of gettext-0.16
that was a part of an attempt to build gcc 4.2.1 from source; the
gettext subtree contained a copy of the missing dll. I copied it to a
directory on my Windows path and the immediate problem went away.

I couldn't find libintl-8.dll in any of the gettext tarballs from the
MinGW SourceForge site.
