There is always the same problems with Unix-oriented soft on Win32.
1. Make sure that your ocaml install path contains no spaces e.g. 
c:\ocamlmgw
2. in your OCAMLLIB variable use forward slashes e.g. c:/ocamlmgw/lib
3. apply following patch to findlib configure script
   patch <configure.diff
4. run it with -mspath option
   ./configure -mspath
after it make everything else e.g. make, make opt, make install, make clean.

This should work fine for both MSVC and MingW OCaml ports.

And you should not build findlib in OCaml file hierarchy, you should 
build it some temporary directory, 'make install' will copy everything
to the right places.
