Updated packages available (wave 2)

I've uploaded new versions of various existing MSYS packages to
sourceforge, as well as an MSYS version of the xz (lzma) tools. You'll
find them at the FRS https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ in
the following folders:

   MSYS lndir
   MSYS zlib
   MSYS bzip2
   MSYS gdbm
   MSYS crypt
   MSYS perl
   MSYS termcap
   MSYS xz

   (MSYS DVLPR autotools [*]
      MSYS autoconf
      MSYS automake
      MSYS libtool
      MSYS libiconv
      MSYS gettext

The new packages satisfy the latest MinGW/MSYS packaging standards,
allowing a more granular installation in keeping with the "minimal"
nature of MinGW/MSYS. See
http://www.mingw.org/PackageIdentificationHOWTO for more information.

However, until an installer capable of managing the granular selections
is available (which will happen eventually), what we have is a whole lot
of packages, which you the user have to download separately and manually
unpack. So what should you install?

Short version: if it has "-dll" in the name, you'll probably need it at
some point, so download and install all of those.  After that, you
probably want the various -bin packages in the first set of packages
above (that is, the non-autotool packages).  The -dev packages, and the
autotool packages announced here, are of interest only to those
developing MSYS applications using the MSYS DVLPR environment [*].

[*] You probably do NOT want these autotool packages. They are useful
only if you are developing MSYS tools, using the MSYS DVLPR environment.
If you wish to develop MinGW (that is, native Win32) programs, then you
want the autotool packages with "-mingw32-" in their name.  The versions
announced here have been specially modified to allow building MSYS
packages. These install into the / == /usr heirarchy; the MinGW versions
install into the /mingw hierarchy.

NOTE1: While I have tried to update these new packages to the latest
upstream release (e.g. autoconf-2.63, xz-git, etc) perl is still 5.6.1.
This is because later versions of perl proved to difficult to adapt to
MSYS's compiler, which is based on gcc-2.95.3.  However, 5.6.1 works
well enough for its purpose here: to enable running the autotools.

NOTE2: There are a number of other packages in the "Supplemenatary
Tools" category that I intend to repackage. These include:
    regex     minires        flex
    bison     inetutils      openssl
    openssh   cvs            vim
    gmp       guile          autogen
However, because I'm now out of "open source" time for an extended
period, those will follow more slowly, and will NOT be updated to the
latest upstream release.  Instead, I'll concentrate simply on
re-compiling the (old) version against latest MSYS and the libraries
above, and packaging the results to meet the new package standards.

I intend to provide sson a new build of the following tool:
    (msys) libarchive (+ bsdtar)
A MinGW version of libarchive will follow, but we're still working out
some issues upstream with that.
