Updated packages available

[Charles Wilson-8]

I've uploaded new versions of the MinGW-target autotool packages to
sourceforge, as well as a native win32 version of the xz (lzma) tools.
You'll find the at the FRS https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
 in the following folders:
   MinGW autoconf
   MinGW automake
   MinGW libtool
   MinGW libiconv
   MinGW gettext
   MinGW xz
The new packages satisfy the latest MinGW packaging standards, allowing
a more granular installation in keeping with the "minimal" nature of
MinGW. See http://www.mingw.org/PackageIdentificationHOWTO for more
information.

Note that the autotools are *NOT* native MinGW "ports".  They are still
comprised of perl and shell scripts, and as such require POSIX runtime
support and use any number of unix-derived external utilities (usually
available in a standard MSYS installation).  But, because these versions
of the autotools are used to develop MinGW applications and libraries,
(as opposed to certain other versions of the autotools available from
the MinGW sourceforge site which are designed for developing *MSYS*
applications and libraries) the versions announced here are considered
the "MinGW autotools", and carry a *-mingw32-* subsystem id.  As such,
all packages with *-mingw32-* in the name should be unpacked into the
/mingw (e.g. C:\MinGW) directory.

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, it's your
choice.

autoconf and automake are provided in multiple versions. All can be
installed simultaneously, and have a "versioned" base name.  For instance:
   automake1.10-*-mingw32-*
   autoconf2.5-*-mingw32-*

There are also "wrapper" scripts derived from Gentoo which intelligently
determine which of the various versions should be invoked. These wrapper
packages have "unversioned" names:
   autoconf-*-mingw32-*
   automake-*-mingw32-*
If you want ANY of the autotools, you'll definitely want these wrapper
packages.
