GDAL should compile fine with MingW it has for me in
the past

Follow the instructions for Cygwin < Unix > and use all the internal

You might have to tweak the toplevel GNUMakefile a bit
depending on what type and where you installed MingW

Below find my changes to tonight's CVS for Cygwin compilation
Note you will want to copy the file made by this into your 
MingW lib directory and you will also want to move the installed
dll from the lib directory onto your path
