I asked on the mxe list and the guy, Tony Theodore, there has pushed a
fix to mexe's git which causes it to be installed. The fix is just to
define the BIN_INSTALL directory. This builds ok, I have tested it, but
cannot get it to fire off from denemo - it is not at all obvious where
glib will look for the helper program with a static build, it doesn't
seem to find it in the path, and we don't have a .dll, though if we did
it would be where I have put gspawn_win32_helper.exe, ie where
denemo.exe is and fluidsynth.dll, in the bin directory.
I'll try asking on the gtk list. Did your LDADD_denemo thing work to get
the srfi libraries on the link line?
