I'm just in the process of building libpng 1.2.8 for linux-x-mingw32.  
It's the only package that I build that I use gnuwin32's source for  
(and I'd very much like not to; I dislike needing different source  
trees for my native and cross-builds, but still). I have not found that  
it introduces a dependancy on gw32c. Their o2dll script does include a  
-lgw32c along with a load of others, but I just removed them and it  
seems to build just fine with just the -lz (which is passed into o2dll,  
probably from their makefile.mingw).

Ali.
