It is certainly desirable to be able to build extension modules
with this configuration; AFAIU, distutils already supports that
case. Whether or not it is desirable to be build Python from
source in this configuration, I don't know - most people that
want to build with mingw seem to be using the Python binaries
available from python.org, or from ActiveState. I'm not sure
whether mingw is capable of building Python correctly, with
assembly manifests and all.
