Good luck.

The fundmental problem with mingw is it lacking a "complete distribution".

My approach to supplying Mingw packages is to use Fedora's 
linux->mingw32 toolchain, which contains most packages/libraries one 
needs for building mingw32 hosted cross-compilers Canadian-Cross
(I build mingw32->*-rtems* cross toolchain packages on Fedora).

The problem with this approach is on the Windows side. There one would 
need a windows installer which would contain/collect the required dlls 
etc. ... This is something I don't have.
