I've never built vim using mingw. However as far as I know, mingw is not
bundled with (n)curses and you cannot use lib of linux. And if you want curses,
you need to get the source of pdcurses and compile by yourself.

Not only curses, I think you also need to get regex support somewhere. Not
sure about other tool chain such as iconv.

Good luck!
