I don't think we have or have ever had a buildfarm animal targeting
msys. In general I think of msys as a build environment to create native
binaries. But if we want to support targeting msys we should have an
animal doing that.

config/check_modules.pl is probably the right place for the test, as it
will be running with the perl we should be testing, and is only called
if we configure with TAP tests enabled.
perhaps something like:
my $msystem = $ENV{MSYSTEM} || 'undef';
die "incompatible perl" if $Config{osname} eq 'msys' && $msystem ne
'MSYS';
