Hi,

No, no. I wasn't asking you to prepare the MinGW package---I promised to do
that. I was going to ask whether you have the time to document the work.
Right now, I am waiting on the MinGW crew to decide what they want to do.
There are two ways to proceed:

1. To host builds on the MinGW SF page in the form of installable packages,
just like everything else is dealt with. That doesn't mean Octave-Forge
can't continue to provide its giant archives. :-)

2. To host the MinGW packages elsewhere (preferably Octave-Forge). However,
in this case, the user would have to modify their profiles.xml file that
comes with mingw-get. This would be annoying.

If they want to go for option 1, they will become the package maintainers.
If they want to go for option 2, I will.

Cheers,
Bogdan
