I think you'll find that if you use QT/Win32, then half the changes you've 
made won't be necessary, as qmake will handle them for you... eg changing 
libmyth* to cygmyth* and including -ldgdi - for reference my current 
source (which only has a few minor patches from CVS) compiles fine with 
qt/win32, but unfortunately won't execute at the moment, and I haven't 
gotten around to finding out why.

I'm tempted to try for a mingw build, but I'm not sure how much 
unix-dependency I'd have to work around (eg replacing /usr/local with a 
windows-equivalent)
