Yes. I have a complete MinGW + MSYS setup here, so I just go to the 
directory and
./configure --prefix=/target
make
make install

Then I go to the /target directory to get the files.
Some times (like with gnomecanvas) I have to edit the config.status, 
because it generates wrong paths.

I don't know, and never tried. A lot of gnome libs are platform independent.
Gnomecanvas does not depend on any Gnome lib.

Gnome doesn't handle xwindows directly, does it? It uses GDK for it.

No if you compile the libs on MinGW/GCC with -mms-bitfields. All the 
GTK-related libs are compiled this way.

No.

Yes. You'll have to identify what each lib does, and see if you can 
either compile/port it or strip it off from the sources.
