Let's not forget the goal of Winelib: making it possible to recompile Windows applications to Unix, not making it possible to compile native Unix applications using the Windows API+MinGW.
Not that I disagree with your points, but I think there is some confusion about MinGW. MinGW apps are NOT native Unix apps. They are native Windows app that just happen to use gcc instead of MSVC for the compiler.
Now, give that most OSS Windows app support MinGW, I think it's a very important segment we need to address (not to mention most like a lot easier to capture). Yeah, most commercial apps do use MSVC, but those app need internal forces for a port anyway, all we can do is make it easy for them. Most important in that area is probably .dsp support in winemaker, but this is a different ball of wax...
