4. Do we also want to try releasing an installer built
with mingw?
(Does that build an installer? or just LyX?)
It builds just LyX. Building an installer needs a built
LyX, it should not
matter whether it was built by MSVC or mingw (except for
the MSVC
prerequisites, these are not needed to be installed for
mingw builds).
NSIS also runs on Ubuntu, so in principle it is possible to
build a installer on Linux.
On Linux LyX.exe (and an installer I assume) could
be started with the help of Wine.

Description-en: Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (modified
for Debian)
NSIS is a tool for creating quick and user friendly
installers for
Microsoft Windows (Win32) operating systems.
.
NSIS creates installers that are capable of installing,
uninstalling,
setting system settings, extracting files, etc. Because
it's based on
script files, you can fully control every part of your
installers. The
script language supports variables, functions, string
manipulation,
just like a normal programming language - but designed for
the creation
of installers. Even with all these features, NSIS is still
the smallest
installer system available. With the default options, it
has an overhead
of only 34 KB.
