I'm thinking it might be useful to assume a more advanced starting point  (since
the target audience is not a Windows user, but rather, normally, a pretty
advanced developer):

a) That mingw (cross compiler) is already installed, since Ubuntu and most
distros have this as a package.  And even if not a package, users can determine
their own version if they want to stray from the currently "distro supported"
version of mingw and install their own newer version.


b) any others....


I don't think wxWidgets is in this same category, however, since you have to
patch it for Windows.  This should be a download.
