I have downloaded and installed your rc7 .exe on windows - it has not
got portmidi linked in, so no MIDI in. I noticed that the sffile stuff
is not actually working, there is no crash, but no instrument list is
created. I don't know whether this was true of the rc6 one, I think I
just tested that it didn't crash when invoking the staff properties
dialog.
I am also not succeeding in creating a windows installer for any tarball
now - I have the denemo.py with just the -mmsbitfields flag but I get
the link of denemo failing with

i686-mingw32-gcc: ../libsmf/libsmf.a: No such file or directory
i686-mingw32-gcc: ../portmidi/libportmidi.a: No such file or directory
i686-mingw32-gcc: ../libsffile/libsffile.a: No such file or directory

this can be traced back to the fact that it is going down into the
pm_win directory and building there but not building anything at the
portmidi level, thus:

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/rshann/gub/target/mingw/build/denemo-1.0.0.~rc.7/portmidi/pm_win'
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/rshann/gub/target/mingw/build/denemo-1.0.0.~rc.7/portmidi'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/rshann/gub/target/mingw/build/denemo-1.0.0.~rc.7/portmidi'

So it looks like you are succeeding to build for windows by having some
different configure file at the top level (?)
