re: developing hints appreciated

[Dan Kegel]

I think he's a windows developer, comfortable mostly
with IDEs like Visual C++.  He'd like to build winecfg
as a .exe on Wine, test it there, and also try running
it on Windows (at least part of it should kinda work there).

Here's what I told him:

On Ubuntu, 'sudo apt-get install mingw' should install a good compiler.
However, it might not be easy to build winecfg with mingw.
Ask on wine-devel if you have trouble.  See also

If I were you, I'd just use Wine's normal build system on linux
and not even try to generate .exe's for now.
