Probably not, but we can revisit that if need be.  That MinGW setup needs to be very carefully curated since it is such a painful process.  But you can do everything but make install.  Really, I was just struggling to get things to build, the 'make install' was the easy part.

For testing, you could do something like "make DESTDIR=/tmp install" then use -I/tmp/include and -L/tmp/lib to build against that.  I think that should work easy enough.  Or the new mingw-get tool makes setting up MinGW so much easier, it might be worthwhile for you to install in on one of your machines:

The windows build machine is a 700Mhz box, I imagine you have something faster somewhere ;) so that would speed up the test process.
