No; we segregated them for any one of a number of reasons[*], and I
don't see why these should be any less valid today.  I prefer to keep a
separate delivery infrastructure for these packages.

[*] Off the top of my head:

1) They are of lesser importance to the project, than those in mingw32
   and msys; (actually, it isn't likely that we would adopt contributed
   MSYS packages anyway, since they could violate the minimalist goal).

2) There was some concern that contributors might walk away, and not
   continue to maintain their contributions; (this in no way implies
   that *you* would do so, but I contributed Xerces-C because we needed
   it for mingw-dist's XML validation tool.  The version I provided is
   still perfectly adequate for that purpose, and I have no incentive
   beyond that, to keep abreast of upstream updates).

3) There is a possibility that we could choose to aggregate contributed
   packages into a separate delivery channel; keeping them separate at
   the outset makes it easier to accomplish that later.
