I built it! and got it installed on windows - and it fixed the Caret
problem I was having! (cursor on black blackround).

Changes:
  "makensis data/virt-viewer.nsis -DDESTDIR=/home/lindsay/tmp"

should be

  makensis -DDESTDIR=/home/lindsay/tmp data/virt-viewer.nsis

the env var def has to come before the script file.

Had to update the versions of
  libtasn1-3.dll and libgnutls-26.dll
to
  libtasn1-6.dll and libgnutls-28.dll

That let me build the installer, but the exe's wouldn't run on windows
- there were a lot of dll's not found. In the end I just copied all
the dlls from /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin across.
