Invoking the "mingw-get source ..." command for a package name which has no matching entry in the repository catalogue does nothing (silent failure). It should emit a diagnostic, indicating that the named package is unknown.

    The command:

    $ mingw-get licence nonesuch

    exhibits a similar silent failure.

    Since both source and licence actions are processed within the same internal code path, the attached source-nonesuch.patch corrects both manifestations of this defect.
