I tested the resulting Mingw binary on a MS Windows 10 Home machine I
managed to put the hands on: lilypond-windows.exe (which opens the
shipped editor with the welcome text file) hangs, convert-ly.py is OK,
lilypond.exe is slow at the start. I might have screwed up something
during the build...

With another succesful build with that same LilyPond branch (dev/jm-
stable-2.20), but GUB master plus PRs 53 to 57, 58 without Python
wrapper, and 60 to 62, I got a better working Mingw (which may not be
related with the difference in GUB sources): lilypond-windows.exe works
normally, convert-ly and lilypond work well, but just like on the other
build, the encoding of console messages in French in cmd.exe window is
screwed, with UTF-8 accented characters displayed as if they were
interpreted in Latin-1.

FWIW I used as a test input
https://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=2240
with application of convert-ly.
