+Build order & package notes:
+
+ ( 1) mingw-filesystem
+
+      This is the base package containing the filesystem, RPM macros
+      and other stuff that everything depends on.  This is a pure
+      Fedora RPM with no outside dependencies.
+
+ ( 2) mingw-binutils
+
+      This is just a straight cross-compile of binutils.  It has
+      no BuildRequires beyond what is in basic Fedora already.
+
+ ( 3) mingw-runtime-bootstrap
+ ( 4) mingw-w32api-bootstrap
+
+      These are NOT real Fedora packages.  Instead they are BINARY
+      packages which is just needed first time if you are building
+      from scratch.  It contains some Windows binaries and header
+      files which are needed to bootstrap everything, and which
+      would normally be built by the packages below (specifically
+      by mingw-runtime and mingw-w32api).
+
+      Note: If you already have mingw packages installed then you
+      should not build this package.
+
+ ( 5) mingw-gcc
+
+ ( 6) mingw-runtime
+ ( 7) mingw-w32api
+
+      Note that once built and installed, these last two replace the
+      files built from binaries in mingw-{runtime,w32api}-bootstrap.
+
+Then for the rest, use ./show-build-order.pl which is a script which
+works out the correct order to build packages and will display the
+list of commands that you have to invoke to do this.
+
+(Note that show-build-order.pl doesn't actually build anything - it
+just prints suggested commands).
