Indeed this is something I did myself in the past for gtk2 or gnutls
packages (you probably pointed me to this script at some point, but I do
not remember the details). Fortunately download-mingw-rpm.py has a rather
good dependency tracking (better than my initial trial attempts based on
Dependency Walker, it as painful...).

This last objective seems to be a good plan ;)
