Personally, I think the wiki would probably be a better place for
stuff like that than the repo (but it's not really my call what goes
in the repo or not).

There's already a stub for compiling for/on windows:
http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Hacking:Building/Windows

I didn't know this page, though it is not much filled anyway. :-)
I personally does not care much *where* it is as long as I know this *where*. Indeed I think it could be a little more centralized. Between developer.gimp.org, the wiki, what is in the repo, etc. I am a little lost and end up spending more time on search engines than in the doc. :-/
 

If you'd like a wiki account, I'm told you should hop on IRC and
bother either LightningIsMyName or Alexia_Death.

Ok I'll pass some time today or another day and ask for an account.

I wrote down how I cross-compiled for Windows from Linux on this page.
See http://wiki.gimp.org/index.php/Hacking:Building/Windows#Cross-Compiling_GIMP_under_UNIX_using_MinGW-w64

If anyone with a working cross-compiled environment feels there is anything to add or accuracy to give, that would be even better.
See ya!
