Bad bugs in gcc-mingw packaging.

The gcc-mingw package uses an _extremely_ strange packaging scheme. Why does
it do this?
Anyway, there are 2 bug in the preremove script:
1) If file-that-we-need exists, then bail out.
Obviously, this should be: If file-that-we-need does NOT exist, then bail
out.
2) Missing quote.
Max.
