And by MinGW you mean the new MinGW-w64 which allows you to build 32Bit and 64Bit binaries? It's also available on cygwin, so one could cross-compile for win32 under cygwin, probably using autotools. Also, libusb might rely not only on the Windows SDK (which includes compilers and header for user applications) but also on the Windows Driver SDK (which includes the winusb headers for user-mode USB drivers). It would be neat, if it would be possible built libusb with FREE tools (like Windows SDK and Windows Driver SDK) instead of costly tools like Visual Studio. I'm not aware, whether some form of "make" program is included with either the Windows SDK or the Windows Driver SDK.
