Well, of the dlls that have a test in Wine MinGW only misses urlmon.
Yes this seems to have improved, it used to miss a lot more. I'm sure the Mingw guys would welcome a patch to add urlmon...
If you look at the objective of cross compiling a test, it would normally not make sense to cross compile a target that needs a library that the target platform lacks. But of course this situation different: the test executable is going run on Windows, not MinGW (though that may change someday...)
Well, the import libraries are supposed to be compatible across Wine/Mingw/Windows, so it shouldn't matter which ones we use. And trying different combinations is a good way to spot problems, so there isn't a "right" one to use. I agree that using the Mingw libraries would be preferable, at least for testing Wine; but using the Wine libraries is a good way to test Mingw...
