 The build instructions at https://www.ffmpeg.org/platform.html#toc-
 Microsoft-Visual-C_002b_002b-or-Intel-C_002b_002b-Compiler-for-Windows
 tells us this:

 >To set up a proper environment in MSYS2, you need to run msys_shell.bat
 from the Visual Studio or Intel Compiler command prompt.

 But in the latest MSYS2 version you actually need to use a special
 parameter to pass the PATH variable to the shell:

 {{{
 msys2_shell.cmd -use-full-path
 }}}

 Without the flag cl.exe won't be found and running ./configure fails.
