there is an extra package called msysDTK (developer toolkit)
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=158856

and msysDTK-1.0.0-alpha-1.tar.gz includes perl (since actual msysDTK is
an opaque .exe it's difficult for me to tell whether perl is in it, I
clearly have perl.exe in my msys/bin).

bison and flex are available from the gnuwin32 effort:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html

PS: Never install normal windows binaries in msys/bin. There are special
command line properties (directory structure compatibility) associated
with msys/bin.
