-If you can create packages for your favorite platform, please send them
-back to me and/or place the package in a public repository appropriate for
-your distribution or platform.  I would especially appreciate packages in
-common formats such as deb, rpm, or OS X app bundles.
+If you have a working mingw32 toolchain with all the dependencies, you can
+build a win32 binary using a command such as this:
+
+./configure --host=mingw32 --prefix=/usr/mingw32/usr
+
+where mingw32 is the correct name of your toolchain.  You can get all the
+non-standard dependencies from the git repository at win32/win32-libs.zip.
+Just unzip the contents of that archive into your toolchain.  If everything
+goes smoothly, you should have a yoink.exe appropriate for the win32
+platform.  You can then build a complete installer using "make package" if
+you have nsis installed.
