I talked about cross compiling for MinGW under cygwin. This should be fairly similar to cross compiling for MinGW under Unix. The Ocaml compiler created by my scripts runs on plain windows (without cygwin installed) and also creates executables for such systems. I use cygwin just as a build environment.

Ideally I would like to have an opam running on plain windows, but I think an Opam running on cygwin but creating plain windows tools might be a good compromise between usability and maintainability. 
 
Best regards,
