Is a MinGW build possible?  Or does VS.net provide something needed that MinGW doesn't?  It shouldn't be too hard to do.

Possible or not it doesn't solve the issues at hand in any way. 

That DLL would still be required even when its compiled with MinGW?

An easy solution for that DLL is to have it included in the Pd-extended installer.  Its already handling a number of DLLs and its quite trivial to add another.  packages/win32_inno/Makefile could copy the DLL from %SystemRoom%\system32, if its there, then the installer package will test if its installer a newer version of the that DLL, then install it.

But I would really like to have Pd-extended build Gem from source, rather than using binaries.  That means using MinGW on Windows...
