The point of the buildservice is to automate the build (in this case
cross-compiling) of packages. It is not opensuse specific, other than
that the project evolved out of opensuse and the virtual machines
building the windows binaries run various opensuse/SLES versions.

You can find download packages here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_11.4/noarch/
On windows extracting the DLLs from the .rpm is probably easiest done with 7zip.

I usually cross-compile on Ubuntu when hacking/bugfixing on
gtk/cairo/etc. This is quite easy as you can make install right into a
smb mount to directly test on Windows. And I use the buildservice
distribute up-to-date binaries and headers to compile my application.
