That thread actually contains most (all?) of the information you need
to get things installed.  You'll need to do a source distribution and
then build the backend libraries using mingw (read through the
thread).

I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but I wasn't able to get backend
functionality (functions running in the server) to work using MSVC++,
I had to use g++ under mingw to do these builds.
