I don't think we want to advertise the port.  It didn't sound like it
was anywhere close to a clean port and there were some problems.

Do we want to include pointers to binaries on other sites in the README
or PROBLEMS?  I don't think we want to go down that path.

I guess we could add a line that says that gdb doesn't build under
mingw.
