As you mention DLL, I assume you mean cross-compiled to Winderz?

You are not the only one, Gibby Koldenhof has also been working on windows
binaries:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/mni-minc-win32/

He also made a few changes along the lines of what you have. I have been working
on cygwin binaries (dpkg'd).  Bert Vincent (one of the primary authours of
minc2.0 has also dabbled with windows builds of minc.)

Suffice to say, YES there is interest! :)

Last I knew Bert was working on including some of these type changes (to make
windows builds easier) into the core minc CVS.  At least for MINC 2.0, I am
unsure about 1.2/x
