Isn't it enough to compile official Pidgin with congifure switches that
disables Pidgin and Finch? I'm just curious.

Some Pidgin devs also state that. But I still have no idea *why* is it the
worst thing to do. If we provide a repository with mingw dependencies it
will be repeatable. The only disadvantage I see is a longer build time on
Cygwin. But Cygwin is already a disaster.

Do you maintain three buildsystems (Makefile, Makefile.am, Makefile.mingw)
separately? I looked at the one you mentioned and I'm not sure if it
handles every quirk of every unix we build for.
