Hi Josh,

I don't have any real experience with msys/mingw, but here are some
general thoughts.

If you're having trouble building, try again with static libs only, as
that is generally the least troublesome.  Blow away the build dir and
configure with --disable-shared --enable-static.

Be sure to check the exit status: 0 is success, anything else is
failure.

You'd hope for an error message.  But to be sure I'd suggest using the
mingw equivalent of linux's "ldd" or else using the dependency walker
depends (http://www.dependencywalker.com/).
