Only problem with the "vendor" segment is that gcc apparently uses *-w64-* to 
enable features.

Shared Qt4 Webkit and demos are now building side-by-side with the normal 
static build (i686-pc-mingw32 only tested)[1]. So far I haven't seen any major 
issues and I think the basic approach will work. The $(MXE_CONFIGURE_OPTS) 
variable takes care of a lot, and the others have been quite straightforward so 
far.
