AFAIK, glib is only available with MinGW. There are also Windows binaries
for libxml and libxslt http://www.zlatkovic.com/projects/libxml/index.html,
but they were compiled with MS C/C++ compiler. They state it's incompatible
with POSIX layers.

libxml stuff is also available for cygwin, but I've no idea what would it
take to have these compiling also in MinGW.
