 There seems to be a problem with the dependency handling in the win32
 build script.  For example, the extraction of the binutils package is
 based solely on the existence of the binutils.info file.  This means that
 if the dependency is changed to a newer version, it will never be
 extracted.

 Attached is a patch which tries to deal with this.  I've added a new cause
 type of "shell" which allows shell commands to be used as triggers for
 actions.  I've fixed the dependencies for binutils and a few of the others
 which lent themselves to it.
