This makes sense to me.  It's also how I'm approaching the MSYS2
package.  I have already included the documentation and will soon be
adding the libraries, footprints, templates, etc to the package so it
can all be installed in a single package.  The only downside to this is
the package file size and that the user has to update everything for
each new daily build of the source.
