As I said, this is more a porting tool, to help you with the initial port. If the app has a configure script, you would want to instrument it to generate the correct flags for the compiler, and use gcc directly. But this is time consuming, and you have to worry about so many things at the beginning, I find it so much easier to have something working, and tweak only one thing at a time.
OK, as a specialized hack to be mingw compatible I can understand it. It sounded more like a general Winelib compiler that would be used in all cases, which I don't think is a realistic option. But sure, a small mingw tool is fine, just name it something like mingw-wrapper to make it clear it's not a general purpose thing.
