 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.
