More generic-er advice that applies to DIY build enviroment
MinGW/MSYS development environment - Setting up the base system
sh configure --enable-static --enable-shared --with-libxml-include-prefix=C:/msys/1.0/local/include/libxml2 
$config{LIBS}='-l...libxml2.a -l...libiconv.a';
$config{INC}='-I...include/libxml2';
$config{DEFINE} =' -DLIBXML_STATIC ';
WriteMakefile(
              %INFOS,
              %config,
);
