I am fine with a different name.

But I have to say, I think we should try to avoid using these sources  
for anything else but Win32.  Right now, the policy with the auto- 
build farms is that the deps need to be in that platform's package  
management.  MinGW has no package management beyond the basic tools,  
hence this repository.
