Well, as the saying goes, if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at
all!
The link (below) was still not quite enough. I deleted the whole mingw
directory and redownloaded and installed from the website. Victory! (I
think).
Everything seemed to compile and I have a pidgin.exe in
C:\devel\pidgin-devel\pidgin-2.7.1\win32-install-dir
Hooray!
The compile process did produce one error:
cp ./../win32-dev/pidgin-inst-deps-20100315/exchndl.dll ./win32-install-dir
cp: cannot stat `./../win32-dev/pidgin-inst-deps-20100315/exchndl.dll':
No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
Is this anything I need to worry about? I don't have a
/win32-dev/pidgin-inst-deps-20100315/ directory at all.
Thanks very much for all your help and for your quick response to my
questions!

Thanks for the tip. Using the full Mingw seems to have helped.
I am making progress. Currently it is not finding the standard c/c++ include
libraries (stdio.h, locale.h, etc.), but that is a start (at least it is
running something now!). Will keep plugging away at it. If you have any
insight on the include problem, please let me know!
I'm afraid you've been a little unlucky in this process (mainly
because nobody else had tried to set up a new mingw gcc installation
since sourceforge moved stuff around).
I've fixed all the links in the wiki now - thanks for bringing the
breakage to our attention.
Your current problem is because the "full" mingw package, while
containing everything needed for gcc, doesn't contain the win32-api.
You'll need to also download and extract that
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/BaseSystem/RuntimeLibrary/Win32-API/w32api-3.14/w32api-3.14-mingw32-dev.tar.gz/download)
into the same directory as you extracted the mingw package.
