Hi Daniel,

I've set up a micro instance on EC2 that pulls the repo every hour, downloads 
packages, and syncs them to S3:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/mxe-pkg/

I'm guessing this should fall into the free tier as most of the larger projects 
(qt, gcc) seem to have good infrastructure - and this is only intended as a 
tertiary fallback. How many releases back do you think we need to keep?

Any volunteers to update the Makefile so that it tries this location if the 
others fail?

Cheers,

Tony
