Really? Qt is GPL and AFAIK there are no restrictions for compiler
in GPL. We plan (I believe) to use Visual C++ in future because it is
more native - Martin?

I think that you can follow instructions for crosscompilation on Linux
because it is also using MinGW:
http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingWindowsBinaryOnLinux

Definitely we need more (well at least one) developers working
on Windows with possibility to debug (impossible with crosscompiler).
If you manage to compile with MinGW on windows, it would be very
appretiated if you put a zip package with all precompiled/installed
dependencies so that others can start easily.
