How to setup Windows build environment¶

BrainVISA and Anatomist compilation currently uses MSYS and MINGW to build on windows OS. As many dependencies are required to build these tools, we created a BrainVISA development environment installer (bv_devinstaller).
This tool is developped using the Python language so it needs the python language to be installed.
