Thanks for the release.  Using this is a *pleasure* compared to what
installing mingw has been in the past.

A few comments, if you don't mind.

1)
passing it zero parameters seems to always fail (even from within the
"mingw shell"):
C:\MinGW\var\lib\mingw-get\data>mingw-get
mingw-get: libexec/mingw-get/gui.exe: unable to start application; status = -1

2)
might be nice to have something like "mingw-get list installed
packages" so we know if we are missing a certain one.

3)
might be nice to have something like "mingw-get list dependencies"
which outputs like

mingw-developer-toolkit:
  msys-base
  msys-bison

Just for information sake (mostly so that people can find "meta"
packages more easily, though this may not be necessary in the end).

4)
Ability to specify version, like install libtool -v1.0.11 (or can it
do this already?  If so it wasn't clear to me).

5)
with mingw-get-inst, have an option "add to path" or what not.

Thanks so much!
