Summary: mingw-get: unpacking of corrupt archive fails silently

Initial Comment:
As noted on ticket #3028553 (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3028553&group_id=2435&atid=102435), when presented with a malformed archive file, mingw-get silently fails to unpack the content; some form of error handling, or at least diagnosis, should be provided.
