Thanks for the review, Thomas!

Fixed.

No idea why it hangs like that and I don't really intend to dig into wine/gdb
source to figure it out.
In my opinion, gdb is an invaluable debugging tool and as such, it would make
sense to keep it in Fedora, even if it doesn't run entirely correctly under
Wine (besides, Wine is unavailable on our secondary arches like arm and ppc).
If we provide a toolchain to build packages, we should also make sure there's a
way to debug them with free tools. There have been numerous people popping in
to the #fedora-mingw IRC channel and asking for gdb.exe; each time we've had to
send them off to a third party site.

[Bug 642208] Review Request: mingw-win-iconv - iconv implementation using Win32 API

The big difference between GNU libiconv and win-iconv is that GNU libiconv has
implemented all the character set conversion in its own code while win-iconv
uses the Win32 API to achieve the exact same goal. Win-iconv is meant to be a
drop-in replacement for GNU libiconv as it has the same API interface and all
it's functions should behave the same as GNU libiconv. Projects like Glib/GTK
have also been using win-iconv for some time now in their Win32 releases so
this gives me the confidence that it's good to replace GNU libiconv with
win-iconv (as it's much smaller than GNU libiconv). I've also been testing
win-iconv in the mingw-w64 testing repo (where all packages have been rebuilt)
and haven't stumbled across any regressions yet.
This proposed change was also announced to the fedora-mingw mailing list
recently (see comment 4) and nobody objected to it, so we decided to continue
with the review process.
It looks like the 0.0.3 version was released less than 48 hours ago. I've
updated the package to use this new version:
Spec URL: http://ftd4linux.nl/contrib/mingw-win-iconv.spec
SRPM URL: http://ftd4linux.nl/contrib/mingw-win-iconv-0.0.3-1.fc15.src.rpm

- Update to 0.0.3

I just copied over the %doc line from the native libjpeg-turbo package, so it
contains stuff like readme, the changelog and the license. All other
documentation was excluded from this package.
Anyway, thanks for reviewing and approving the package!
