After republishing the site again after the latest changes, I see why my approach may not be the best. mirrors.cgi on Windows has CRLF line-endings and is copied as such to minotaur. Furthermore, no executable permission is set. This could be avoided by setting different properties on mirrors.cgi in SVN and adjusting the post-process script in publish.xml but both problems are easily solveable with SVN. Sigh.
