I can try, but most of it is...

while ( complie errors > 0 ) {
   scratch head
   use google
   flounder a bit
   fix errors
}
smile

I have a couple of 4 or 5 line helper scripts, which you are welcome
to, but most of what I do is straight out of "README.mingw" that is in
the Pan repo already. Most errors are of the nature of trying to get
hold of a recent version of a library that is needed, or build it
myself.

For example, I build gmime manually in order to disable the crypto
bits that don't work properly under Win32, and some bits I build
static version of to simplify deployment.

In fact with a recent Mingw/Msys, one of the hardest bits (a decent
version of Perl and intltool) is now included in the package, and a
win32 pre-build of gnutls 3.0.20 was just made available so I can
discard my sad attempts to build it.

I looked at  https://live.gnome.org/Pan and got a "500 Server error" ???
