The latter two are removed, to make way for the corresponding component 
packages which are required by the "test-off" meta-package, but...

...there's nothing in that meta-package which *requires* this to be 
removed, so it's simply left in place.  It's probably something which 
could bear attention, but there's no obvious way to force it with the 
current mingw-get implementation; (I've not tested, but a kludgy way 
might be to add a dummy "release" spec for 3.x, with an embedded

   <download tarname="none" />

to the "doc" and "lic" class declarations, in your temporary catalogue, 
and "require" it in the "test-off" spec).
