I used F17 mingw32-* tools on F16 (because F16 ones cannot build mingw-wine-gecko).
Rebuild mingw-wine-gecko-1.5-2.fc17.src.rpm (but do not clean).
Apply attached patch, run ./autogen.sh, then apply Makefile.diff to SpiceXPI/src/plugin/Makefile.
Then make.

The dlls which I copy (from /a/CVS/spice/dlls) are from mingw32-* rpms, except
mozalloc.dll which is from mingw-wine-gecko build dir:

iconv.dll            libglib-2.0-0.dll  libstdc++-6.dll  pthreadGC2.dll
libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll  libintl-8.dll      mozalloc.dll

The built SpiceXPI.xpi can be installed by Firefox and FF does see it, because
without it when I press Console in ovirt web admin interface I get a message
"Spice XPI addon was not found, please install Spice XPI addon first".
You have to change Firefox user agent to Linux one in order to activate Console item.
