Up until now, I've been using MinGW32 + MSYS 1.0, and compiling Python extensions with VC 9.0 (same compiler as Python was compiled with). It has worked for a while, but I had to migrate to MinGW-w64 because of lack of support for some functions in MinGW, and then I ran into problems with cross CRT memory management :-/ So, being a unix-y guy, I decided to go MinGW all the way, and MSYS2 is making things so much easier :-) I just compiled PyQt4 and SIP4 and got my program running, I'm about to make an executable with it and test it. So far so good! I don't quite get how to make those PKGBUILD scripts, but hopefully I can contribute the recipes for PyQt4 and SIP4, maybe some others could find them useful.
