Thanks for the info. We should try to get some mingw builds and wine
tests into Travis (although at the moment the Travis builds are
already broken due to a problem on clang I haven't had a chance to
debug :).
However, as noted elsewhere, mingw shouldn't be our only or primary
way of building for windows.
