I've just tried to make it work.

First thing you need is PCRE itself built for MingW, unfortunately
Cygwin package won't work.

In PCRE folder do
$ ./configure CFLAGS='-mno-cygwin -O2'
$ make
$ cp .libs/libpcre.a /lib/mingw/
$ cp pcre.h /usr/include/mingw/

Make will give you error in the end but that's not a problem.

Then in pcre-ocaml folder set variables in Makefile.conf to following

export STATIC = yes
export MINGW := 1
export INCDIRS :=/usr/include/mingw
export LIBDIRS :=/lib/mingw
export CFLAGS := -O2 -mno-cygwin -DPCRE_STATIC

Then remove
CFLAGS = -O2
line from lib/makefile

Replace OCamlMakefile with latest version (6.11.0) and apply attached
patch to it.

Than do make and make examples for testing. If it will work you can then
do make install.
