+=============================
+
+From http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nuttx/message/2900:
+
+"The build was quite simple:
+
+I used mingw installer and I had to install two packages that the
+automated mingw setup does not bring by default:
+
+  * mingw-get update
+  * mingw-get install mingw32-pdcurses mingw32-libpdcurses
+  * mingw-get install msys-regex msys-libregex
+
+(grep the output of mingw-get list if I got the names wrong)
+
+Then I had to change some things in mconf code, it was quite simple to
+understand the make errors.
+
+  * The first of them is to disable any use of uname() in symbol.c and
+    replace the uname output by a constant string value (I used MINGW32-MSYS),
+
+  * The second one is related to the second parameter to mkdir() that has
+    to disappear for windows (we don't care about folder rights) in confdata.c;
+
+  * And the last one of them involves #undef bool in dialog.h before including
+    curses.h (CURSES_LOC), around line 30.
+
+I wrapped all of my changes in #if(n)def __MINGW32__, but that is not
+sufficient to make that work everywhere, I think.
+
+So mconf itself has some portability issues that shall be managed in a
+cleaner way, what I did was just hacks, I don't think they are
+acceptable by mconf upstream maintainers.
+
+Here is the magic incantation to get the whole thing working. It seems
+that the configure script is not so good and does not bring the required
+bits to link libregex.
+
+  CFLAGS="-I/mingw/include -I/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-Bstatic -L/mingw/lib
+         -L/usr/lib -lregex" ./configure --enable-frontends=mconf --enable-static
+         --disable-shared
+
+So the message I want to pass is that native "make menuconfig" in
+windows IS POSSIBLE, I have done it in a few minutes."
+
+"Oops, forgot something, I had to bring a gperf binary from the gnuwin32 project."
