Yes, sorry about that, the README.Windows file fails to mention some
current difficulties with MXE.

1) Qt4 pkgconfig files are not in the pkgconfig search path, so one has
to tell configure where to find them.

2) One has to tell the linker to allow multiple definitions of functions

3) LibASS drags in Harfbuzz which requires libusp10, but Harfbuzz's
pkgconfig file does not list that library.

The following configure script invocation works around these problems:

MXE=/path/to/mxe
export PATH=$MXE/usr/bin:$PATH
./configure --build="`build-aux/config.guess`" \
 --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
 --without-equalizer --without-liblircclient \
 CXXFLAGS="-Wall -Wextra -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -flto"
 LDFLAGS="-Wl,--allow-multiple-definition -flto" \
 PKG_CONFIG_PATH_i686_pc_mingw32="$MXE/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/qt/lib/pkgconfig"\
 LIBS="-lusp10"
