MinGW rocks! Our user base (see http://lilypond.org) is 60 % windows, and thanks to MinGW and NSIS (http://nsis.sf.net), I can ship weekly release in a neat .exe installer without ever having to touch windows.

Of course we're huge fans of lilypond. Does it build with the Fedora MinGW project? If you'd like help, let me know.

I build all my Free/GPL Photoshop plugins with MinGW!!
