I am not familiar with the MingW builds. If we do use them, will the resulting dll's have any dependencies on any runtime component of MingW? Or can we simply take the resulting dll's (for postgis, geos, proj etc) and copy them to another Windows system that doesn't have any part of MingW installed?

Is there any particular reason that you can't use the MingW builds?
