Summary: automating download of minGW via (X)ML

Initial Comment:
Has there been already a proposal to provide the
community not only with a download page but also with a
(X)ML-Page like this:
<release>current
<item><id>gpp-bin</id>
<type>binary</type>
<description>g++</description>
<version>4.0.1-somedate</version>
<note>none</note>
<size>2047232</size>
</item>
...
</release>

or similar.

If not, I would ask for that.

So there is the possibility to use some scripts,
which will look for release=current and
id=gpp-bin for to download it (and install it).

I am very glad, that there is still no install.exe for
mingw and that is modularized. ok,ok, it is gpp.

Maybe there could even be an entry like
<release>current-bundle-minimalist-c++
...

containing all files needed to download and extract to
build some c/c++ programs.

Please do not understand this proposal as
a call for a install script.
I hate them. I always want the full control
(at least I hope so) over my computer.
