I figured out what the problem was. I had installed MSYS and had it's bin 
directory in the path. This was causing issues with the shell commands in the 
Makefiles because the Makefile would end up using the MSYS sh.exe instead.

Looks like this came up before. If I had searched the archives on MSYS I would 
have found the answer right away.

Anyway, SIP installed fine and I'm compiling PyQt4 (20070721 snapshot). I 
expect PyQt4 to install just fine also.

Thanks,
Tom
