The first tool set uploaded did just use c:\rtems but now all the 
packages are under there target directory.

Yes it is. It is fixed in CVS and will be in the next update of the tools.

and MSYS in the same batch file. I do not know how to handle having 
these installed in a different location.

The standard RTEMS bug database should be ok for this sort of thing.
