Maintaining MinGW builds of your deps must be annoying, would be nice if some distros had a MinGW partial port/architecture people could use for cross-building other things.

Yeah, it's not always fun :P
There are some projects that try to be partial dependency "package" managers for mingw, but for whatever reason I never really used them, so I cannot comment on how well they work and how up-to-date they are kept.
I guess, I just like fighting with the interwoven mess of build-systems and dependencies sometimes (and really, I don't spend more than maybe 1 or 2 hours a month on that)... a bit like people doing linux-from-scratch, except probably less time consuming than building an entire kernel and userland step-by-step.
