Have you ever planed to have a "POSIX" root folder? i.e. a folder like 
c:\POSIX which contains "bin"  "usr" "etc" ...
And why don't you ship mingw/msys in that folder with all standard 
reactos distributions ?

Because:
1) It is the first step for developing reactos in reactos ...
2) All unix-like applications can be installed there and will not have 
to create each time their own POSIX tree.
3) It is to be ready to a massive port of gnu softwares that don't need 
a full POSIX compliant OS.
4) It is mandatory for a future POSIX subsystem.
5) It is cool and sexy.
