Note: This branch currently is just the upstream 1.1 release (see
pulseaudio.org), all the win32-specific patches have been merged.

There's no documentation of it, because it's all pretty standard. If
you have mingw32 installed, it's just your regular ./configure; make;
make install.

Having said that, I have never tried compiling _on_ Windows myself.
The win32 support has been developed on Linux, cross-compiling _for_
Windows. My experience with setting up a mingw32 environment on
Windows is that it is a great pain to get all the details right and
working.

That would be a really nice thing to have!
