How about cross compiling? Do the compile on a Linux machine, where all 
the ingredients are readily available. A little web search yielded some   
HOWTOs that suggest to use a MinGW cross compiler.

As for the installer, in july 2006 Peter Brett volunteer on this mailing 
list to produce a NSIS-based Windows installation program:

Seems like the subject has been on the list more than once. Last year 
Peter clifton reported success with pcb and partial success with gEDA:

Would it be possible to use these efforts as a starting point?
