Tutorial page for msys64?

Is there a howto page on how to use the new msys build tools yet? The installer runs, but I have no idea how to use the command shell, or where to put the sources.
On another front, I can't get the old buildtools to install, they say that the "master" branch already exists and gives me a fatal error when run. I don't think these are being used any more. Is that right?
I am thoroughly confused, and any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay. I figured it out. It's a bash shell, not a Windows Command shell. I have more questions though.
I stuck my source in my Home folder. I guess that's the best place for it.
The command:
Code:
make -j5 TOOLS=1
Doesn't seem to use all cores though. Just two. I had to use:
Code:
make --jobs=5 TOOLS=1
To get it to use all cores. Did I make a syntax error with the first line?
Also, how do we update the tools? "update" doesn't work any longer.
Thanks for your patience.

A dev instructed me on IRC and I have it compiling right now.
If your msys64 is placed in default location *C:\msys64*
Then put the MAME source in location */home/[usr] (c:\msys64\home\[username])*
On my system it's *C:\msys64\home\Administrator*
Then you can open conemu.bat and paste there what you usually compile with.

Have my set up like this.
@echo off
SET CONFIG_ARCHITECTURE=x64
call C:\msys64\win32\env.bat
cd C:\source
make -j6 TOOLS=1 SYMBOLS=0
pause
msys64 is way smaller than buildtools. Gonna trash the buildtools right away.

I managed to get an executable from the new msys64-2016-01-04 build tools, but I get a dependency error when I try to run mame64.exe:
"The program can't start because libwinpthread-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
Mame used to be self-contained. Do we have a bug, or am I just using the new tools too soon?
I have found the file in msys64 and putting libwinpthread-1.dll in the Mame directory causes mame64 to run with this error:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
Yikes.
