I just finished rebuilding the MinGW/MSYS setup on the Windows build server using the new mingw-get utility and the latest MinGW and MSYS. There has been big improvements in MinGW in the past couple of years, so its getting a lot easier to set everything up. You can do it yourself here:

One big notable change is that this now uses gcc 4.5 rather than gcc 3.4. Also built and installed are:

- libdl - -lpthread and -lpthreadGC2 - Tcl/Tk 8.5.10 - freetype 2.4.6 - fftw 3.3 double - fftw 3.3 float - libmad - ogg - vorbis - speex - flac (but doesn't seem to always work) - libsndfile - lua 5.1 - lame (but doesn't seem to always work) - theora - libjpeg - libtiff - libpng - libxvidcore - a52dec - libdca - faac - flite - x264 (untested) - openjpeg (but doesn't seem to always work) - ffmpeg (untested) - libgavl - ladspa.h
