You can pack them into the templates-only devpak and put it on devpaks.org.

Have you tried to read the GPL licence?
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html
It clearly states:
"Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running 
the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is 
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program 
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that 
is true depends on what the Program does."
So, unless you create modified version of Dev-C++, your program is not 
restricted to use GPL.
It of course depends on everything you use to create your program, the 
MinGW licence is described here:
