For the packages I maintain (w32api, mingw-runtime, hexedit, astyle) I
didn't think there would be much of an impact between 1.5 and 1.7.  If
there is some benefit, please let me know and I will build 1.7
versions of these packages.  Is there a naming convention or something
I should use, since I assume using the same name / version as the 1.5
binaries may cause a problem?
