My application uses libgsf to read ZIP files, and in the past I've built it against a Windows binary package provided on gnome.org. It would be nice to have a mingw32-libgsf RPM, now that all the other libraries I use are available in other mingw32- RPMs.
I've started trying to construct a suitable spec file and build it myself, starting from the Fedora development libgsf SRPM, but it has quickly become apparent that I don't really know what I'm doing. I'll continue to flail away at it, but if anyone who actually has experience with packaging libraries for mingw32 were to beat me to the punch, I wouldn't be the least bit offended. :-)
In fact, I'm willing to offer a $100 bounty for a working RPM (with SRPM). It's not a lot, but it would buy a few pizzas and beers. :-)
Thanks! Eric

Done. You can send the $100 to a local cancer charity of your choice.

Thanks for the package, and thanks for having me donate the money to charity. I'll send the donation to the American Brain Tumor Association.
