#1104: Bootstrapping MinGW packages in EL-5 branch

We have applied for the following MinGW packages to be added to CVS:
* `mingw32-gcc` (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454410)
* `mingw32-runtime` (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454412)
* `mingw32-w32api` (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454414)
These three packages have a circular dependency, so we would like rel-
eng's help in creating the initial Koji repository. The circular
dependency and how we normally break it is described here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/Bootstrapping
If the two noarch binary packages `mingw32-runtime` and `mingw32-w32api`
from our temporary repository
(http://www.annexia.org/tmp/mingw/fedora-10/i386/RPMS/) can be added then
we can build `mingw32-gcc` from source followed by `mingw32-runtime` and
`mingw32-w32api` from source, and then the circular dependency is broken.
