If you have VS or a SDK installed and setup before launching MSYS term, you can use for x86:

  lib -machine:X86 -name:zlib1.dll -def:zlib.def -out:zdll.lib

and for x64:

  lib -machine:X64 -name:zlib1.dll -def:zlib.def -out:zdll.lib

Have a look at GTK+'s configure.in and gtk/Makefile.am to see how they setup it.

I can't promise if/when, but I will see if I can send a patch for this. I assume I can base patches on latest checkout of:

?
