Cross-compilation is not supported for now, but you can always compile
it directly in windows. Recently I've tried to make it compile there,
however most of the time I fight with linking problems with
dependencies when using both MinGW and MSVC++ 2005 compilers (I lack
some experience at this). I would prefer to compile it with MSVC++ as
it's more 'natural' for win32 and you can also use its IDE for some
programming.
