True.  I assumed that the MinGW team was not interested in hosting third
party libraries, given the specialised nature of MinGW32 as a Windows
compiler rather than as a Unix emulation system or all-round library
collection.

I agree entirely.  What should I do to pass this bundle on to you guys?  My
memory is that I just built the package by modifying the makefiles, so the
source/build directory structure is just as it came from the original home.
