For minimal Windows support, you may go this route:

* Install these packages: binutils-mingw-w64-i686 gcc-mingw-w64-i686
g++-mingw-w64-i686 wine
* CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc CXX=i686-w64-mingw32-g++
* Link everything static, use the link flags -static-libgcc
-static-libstdc++
* run tests with wine.

I have set this up once with CMake, but I don't use it anymore. I can dig
up an example if someone is interested.

Cheers, Daniel
