Good luck - you'll need to use NSIS, an installer-builder that runs on
Windows only.  Mingw32 is able to build C/C++ source into Windows PE-format
executables and it comes with its own Microsoft-compatible header files and
lib files, but it cannot replace the toolchain currently used.
You should be able to use it to build freenet.exe (last time I tried using
gcc to compile it was admittedly over a year ago but little has changed
since then). I don't know about NodeConfig.exe, or the minor tool-lets like
findjava.  But you can't use it to build the webinstaller or the monolithic
installer.  I'd be very surprised if there existed any cross-builder capable
of creating windows installers, in fact, as none of the installer-builders I
know of generate C code (they all run on Windows only and directly generate
the .exe file themselves)
