That's strange: probably a bug. It'll require investigation from
someone well versed with the Windows build.

Again, no idea.

* for now, the only reason to use mingw32 would be to avoid the 'cyg'
prefix (conditional on fixing the bugs you found above)
* in the long run, using mingw32 will free up the 'cygwin' target to let us
target a native cygwin build that allows us to depend on native
cygwin X11/glib/gtk/gnome libraries. Don't know if this is worth it.
