Keep in mind that if this variable is appended to, each item must be separated
by a semicolon. Something like this:
```
if test -n "${MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL}"
then
MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL="${MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL};-Tp"
else
MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL='-Tp'
fi
export MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL
```

What if user set this variable for some reasons like additional extra flags?
So, it need to add flags to variable, not override it completely, at least.

Hi Kirill - thanks for the report and proposed fix.
export MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL='-Tp'
Setting an environment variable seems fairly safe, since if an older
version of the compiler doesn't pay attention to it, at least the
problem will not become worse.
However, I'd like to hear from others who use msys, cl, Windows, etc.
(Since I don't), as to whether setting this in the compile script would
cause any problems. Anyone? --thanks, karl.
