Summary: All packages as tarball

Initial Comment:
I've seen that there is only a source tarball and a binary 
installer for some packages (gdb, msys).
I think it's better to provide also a binary tarball for these 
packages. You fetch all packages you need and extract 
it in one directory you want. So it's very easy to install, 
upgrade and deinstall your installation like in the past. 
For example: With tarballs you can do an automatic 
installation. And you don't need to touch the registry. 
I've seen that only the Installer use it to create a 
deinstallation entry. So I think it isn't a big problem to 
use tarballs only.

Thanks...
Bjoern Bosselmann
