Are you sure about this? Mingw and MSVC use the same runtime, the 
msvcrt. If Mingw has problems with a missing function, MSVC will have it 
too. But MSVC can compile libxslt.

If you need more than -liconv and -lz then there is something wrong with 
your environment.

Other than that, go in the win32 subdirectory and run
  cscript configure.js help
for more info about the allready existing way to compile with Mingw.
