Hmmm, I haven't uploaded these scripts and related RPMs to git, because 
putting large binary objects there wasn't considered relevant. But you can 
find them there : 

http://www.tarnyko.net/repo/gtk3_build_system/GTK+3.6.4_build_system-crossli 
nux-v3/ 

The "MinGW/CentOS6" directory is of particular interest here.

Nothing particular. "z_" to be listed at the end, and "INSTALL" because in 
the first versions, only installation scripts supposed to be run once (no 
build scripts) were found there.

That would be a good idea. I have hardly time to contribute these days, so 
having external contributions is of great priority !
