I never managed to sort out all the details (anyone like to recommend a
source of info that explains DLLs (and .so's too for that matter)
properly?), but just to make completely clear: the -c mingw32 option to
setup.py does appear to work fine at the moment.

You don't need to get mingw32 separately, just get cygwin (unless you
don't want any of the cygwin stuff, of course).
