Fabiano did a blog post about his experience when cross-compiling Virt-Viewer with gtk3 here [0] which can help you a bit. The important part is in the end of it, about mingw32-configure and generating the msi installer. Now, there is probably a reason to not have a usb redirection on windows client... not sure if it will work.
