Out of curiosity, why you need to build it yourself instead of using the 
official binaries? This is quite uncommon for Windows users.

I have no problems with mingw used for compilation, but why would one 
prefer using the mingw-produced binaries to the MSVC-produced ones?

We remove support for something that's not maintained. If you will be 
maintaining the mingw port, your patches may be accepted. Did you test 
them with MSVC and Linux/gcc?
