You've got me all excited now, as I'd been planning what would have 
been
yet another generation of my GNOME build & packaging scripts. Looks 
like
there's a chance I can finally stop reinventing those now.

Only, it looks like /mingw/bin/mgwport has not been designed to be
"relocatable". It expects to be installed into C:\MinGW, something
we're not allowed to do here (blame my employer) which results in:

$ mgwport --help
/mingw/bin/mgwport: line 50: c:/MinGW/lib/mgwport/relocatable.mgwpart: 
No such file or directory

Attached patch is intended to make mgwport "relocatable". Now before
you all go ahead and point me to the respective tracker:

1) This obviously has not been properly tested (observe I've only
    taken a peek at the help output).
2) Is there an scm for mgwport? I'd be glad to regenerate the patch
    with the tools that come with such scm. If not, is the unified
    format (output of `diff -Naurp`) acceptable?

Thanks,
Dieter
