Tried downloading the autoconf/automake/libtool file downloads for mingw,
but the contents of the file won't extract. The tar utility just reports
bad file contents.
Thanks,
dgs

How *exactly* did you try to extract them? I just downloaded
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/autoconf/autoconf2.5/autoconf2.5-2.64-1/autoconf2.5-2.64-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma/download
(from the University of Kent mirror) and:
$ lzma -dc autoconf2.5-2.64-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma | tar xf -
works fine for me, (on my Ubuntu-8.04 box). If you have the very
latest MSYS release of tar, or any of the bsdtar tools we provide,
that should also work with:
$ tar xf autoconf2.5-2.64-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma
