unfortunately you've got right:-(
the key is redhat-rpm-config which is part of the buildsys yum group:-(
so we've to add mingwtool to redhat-rpm-config. but in this case we've
to make it good not just a 'first version' since probably can update
redhat-rpm-config too often. the real problem is that it won't work on
rhel since it's much harder to add something to an rhel package....
