I think we should focus on cross compiling instead. In my experience
making sure the configure script of every package works in such
environment is easier than having up to date build dependencies in
windows (autotools, perl, python, bash, make, sed, awk, etc)

For example I have a script in glade [1] that I use to cross compile it
and make an installer using nsis. I get all the dependencies from
OpenSuse Build Service [2]

Ideally we could use OSTree [3] to cross compile the whole stack and
make official binary release.
