In the current gub's git. You can get denemo gits mingw branch. (I have 
been reading too much Dr. Seuss!) If is assigns the git branch like this:

class Denemo__mingw__windows (Denemo):
 source = 'git://git.savannah.gnu.org/denemo.git'
 branch = 'mingw'

Unfortunately you have to edit denemo.make though and set:
DENEMO_BRANCH="mingw"
It was originally set to "master". You have to change this for each 
branch darwin, win32, linux or the installer fails to complete. There is 
probably a better way.

If you are compiling master you need to to set the command line argument 
set in the denemo.py
--with-pmidi-platform=mingw
