Fedora is currently investing a lot in MinGW [1] and for Fedora 11 [2], we
should have a rather decent base of application that can be built with
MinGW.

Right now, we are able to compile functional builds of apps like Inkspcape
[3] or Virt-Manager [4].

One should definitely give Dia a try.

Richard Jones' blog [5] contains more informations about compiling with
MinGW in Fedora.
