I switched the Pd-extended build system to use the Gem build system directly for everything, including 'make install' and Windows/MinGW. I just fixed one small MinGW build bug, and am now installing Quicktime 7.3 SDK on the Windows build machine.
Hopefully, its just a matter of pointing the build system to the location of the QuickTime SDK. I installed it into the default location of "%ProgramFiles%\Quicktime SDK".
