Hello GnuWin32-List

Again a new version (now 0.6) of the tool for automatically download
and maintain a package archive! You can get it here:

http://members.tcnet.ch/michaelis/gnuwin32/GetGnuWin32.exe
http://members.tcnet.ch/michaelis/gnuwin32/GetGnuWin32.md5

New features:

* A file EXCLUDE.TXT containing a list of names of packages that
  should not be downloaded. This file can contain remarks at any
  place.

* A file INCLUDE.TXT containing a list of names and versions of
  packages that should be kept even if there are newer versions.
  Again this file can contain remarks at any place.

* A environment variable GNUWIN32_MIRROR may be defined in order
  to select the nearest mirror for downloading the packages. See
  README.TXT for more information.

Bug-Fixes:

* Due to wrong (alphabetical) sorting DOWNLOAD.BAT sometimes got
  obsolete packages. Now, two methods for receiving the newest
  versions are implemented:

  - DOWNLOAD.BAT fetches the packages at the top of every line
    in the table available here:

    https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617

  - INSTALL.BAT works with a very elaborate sorting algorithm to
    find the packages with the newest versions.

  One can always move the algorithm from INSTALL.BAT to
  DOWNLOAD.BAT, but I think this is not necessary.

I hope this will help to maintain a quick and dirty installation of
all GnuWin32 packages!

With kind regards
Mathias
