Removal of old versions, and mingw-get

Hi,

There are now 6 versions of mingw32-dos2unix and msys-dos2unix. Should 
we keep all these versions or can we remove the old ones? On Cygwin it 
is custom to keep only the previous version, and keep only more if there 
are good reasons.

I also wonder if mingw-get can deal with removal of old versions, if I 
would clean up. What happens if I remove old versions (remove tar files 
from FILES and cleanup XML catalogue), and users have a local old xml 
file? Obviously users have to run "ming-get update". What if they don't 
do that?

regards,
