[PD] MinGW/Windows work session - tomorrow, Tuesday 5/18

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

So of your list there, we still have to handle glib and pkg-config.   
As for binaries, there currently isn't really a way to manage them.   
Right now, the setup uses binaries from the MinGW and MSYS installers,  
then everything else is checked into SVN 'sources' and built from  
source.  In order to make this setup reproduceable, it needs to be  
simple.

I think August got pkg-config going, was that a binary?
