Unfortunately, I'm developing a computer forensic tool, so it really should be the official repository. Is there any chance of having it added in to the official one?
In the meantime, are there short, simple instructions that I can give people for adding the PPA?

We would like our users to be able to compile on Ubuntu. Currently they cannot because there is not zlib-dev and there is no pthreads in the Ubuntu mingw-w64 build system. Are there any plans to add these? It is actually quite difficult to build them from sources on mingw, as it requires editing the distribution files. They should be included as part of the base system. Also, the program configure-mingw and configure-mingw64 are also not provided, and they should be.
