Okay, thanks. This helps.

I committed my changes. I also noticed that mingw32-libunistring was 
missing in the repo. So I added that one too (to my local clone).

Indeed, I cannot push.

This means, I manually lzma my xml files, and upload them via a browser 
or ftp.

I never looked into the mingw cvs/git repo before. But it is logical 
that you keep the xml files under version control. It would be handy if 
I had write permission to mingw-dist. Or else somebody else must check 
in the xml files I uploaded to FRS.
