It’s possible to do it with mingw, but incredibly complicated and time
consuming. I’ve done it in the past but it was so complicated to document
exactly what to do that I just gave up.

Personally I cross-compile from Linux. But either way is fraught with
difficulties. The main annoyance is trying to persuade the various
dependencies to link statically, hence the latest build accidentally
depending on libiconv-2.dll

To be perfectly honest, I haven’t had the time or inclination to get it
right and reproducible. There haven’t exactly been hordes of volunteers
lining up to get the Windows build working correctly either :). (although
there is no part of swfmill that *really* works correctly...)
