Windows MinGW binaries now available

Hi all,

As announced yesterday on comp.lang.fortran, I have built a standalone 
Windows package for gfortran, available for download from www.gfortran.org. 
I had reports of successful installation from a few people, and no 
complaints so far.

Hopefully, this package will satisfy Windows users (someone said "zealots"?) 
since it is self-contained and does not require installing MinGW or any 
other software (libraries, headers and all executables are included in the 
archive). It looks much like the g77 packages for Windows one can find on 
the Web.

Hopefully, the packaging of gfortran for Windows and MacOS has reached a 
compromise, and the frenzy of complaints is going to slow down! I will 
continue such packages on a weekly basis.
