OK, I'll add it to my list to create a mingw->linux compiler at home,
and use it to build (e.g.) libtool-enabled libpng from a cygwin shell.
(mingw->linux as a stand-in for mingw->$embedded since I can only do
this sort of thing at home, rather than at work where I have access to
mingw->$embedded).  Or maybe I'll look into an Android dev env (which is
mingw->android) instead, and try to use it from cygwin.

But...it probably won't happen soon.
