Thanks! It appears that msn-pecan uses one makefile for all platforms, 
rather than having a separate Makefile.mingw for Windows. Unfortunately, 
at least for me it also appears to not work since windows doesn't have 
pkg-config although cygwin does but it's not configured properly, but 
this should still be useful.
