Wtf. I thought sourceforge was better than that. Or maybe it's the persons responsible for mingw that are to blame? Unfortunately, selecting the right packages is not exactly trivial. We should probably look into mirroring the necessary packages, or maybe do something like the msysgit guys, who have a git repository with their mingw/msys installation. Or, alternatively, give up on msys and use cmake and the native port of GNU make, which I think can be installed with the tdm-mingw installer. (Why that installer is not used for the original mingw project is a mystery...)
