What is the board's rationale for putting MinGW packages in a separate
repository, when other cross-compiler toolchain (eg ARM) are in the main
Fedora repository. Seems to me like we're penalizing MinGW  just
because it happens to be related to Windows, even though MinGW's code
is still just as open source as anything else in our repos.
