I'm not quite done yet but I thought that we'd previously agreed to
make this part of mingw some day.

If we make it a separate package then we'll always be saying "Did you
install mingw-gcc-extra?" in the cygwin mailing list.

In the mingw world, they just have to download mingw-runtime, gcc, and
binutils, right?  I'd like to keep the packages the same even if I have
to juggle the internals around a little bit.

I can add stuff to the mingw distribution more easily than I can to the
gcc, so it made sense to me to add this to mingw.

If we made this a separate package the package depencency code wouldn't
even help in this case since nothing would depend on it.  It just wouldn't
be installed.
