I totally agree here, that's also the reason I want to provide
mingw-build binary packages along with the gcc/g++/g77 in order to have
a seamless integration of the package building.
Side-question: how would a net-download be done when installing a package?
By using wget? Or some other way? Are there library dependencies for it,
e.g. libcurl? Just asking, because this one I don't yet have in the build
process...
