This is perl, v5.8.8 built for msys

Perl readline creates "sys$command" files when no STDIN is connected to
the perl process.

I noticed this issue on using msysgit with TortoiseGit. I tracked down
which msysgit versions are affected (<=1.7.7 work, but >=1.7.7.1 has the
issue), but both use the same perl versions (5.8.8) and
Termin/Readline.pl (1.02). I don't know how this issue was introduced,
but the reason seems to be that there is no "con"-file and $^O is
'msys', but a check is missing for this (in Term/ReadLine.pm, sub
findConsole, line 214 - see attached patch).
