Your concern for loss of users is honorable.  But are we loosing them 
over the lack of an installer of GCC 4 or the lack of 64 bit support? 
We can update the mingw.ini file that controls the current installer but 
we need someone to maintain it.  Maintaining it would require watching 
for updates to packages, modifying the mingw.ini file and submitting the 
changes to CVS.
