You should be able to use Fedora 11 for cross compiling for windows
[1]. It will have a complete mingw stack. I think the maintainer has
also pushed most of the stack to Fedora 10 as updates as well. If
there's any thing missing from it that you need let me know and I'll
see if I can't get it added.

Cheers,
Peter
