* Add MacType to BLODADavid Macek2015-11-261-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | One more patch. MacType was observed by several users to cause `GPGME: Invalid crypto engine` failures in MSYS2. See <https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/393>. I also removed two full stops in the sake of consistency. * faq-using.xml: Add MacType to the BLODA. Fix formatting. Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
* Add Forefront TMG to the BLODADavid Macek2015-11-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A user of MSYS2 had non-deterministic segfaults when running simple command from bash started from cmd. We've isolated the cause to `C:\Program Files (x86)\Forefront TMG Client\FwcWsp64.dll`. See <http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/tickets/212/> for a little more information. It seems enough to include the software in BLODA, but if not, sorry for the unsolicited patch and let's discuss. * faq-using.xml: Add Forefront TMG to the BLODA Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
