Replying to own post...

I built pan with mingw64/msys2 (which was much less painful than the 
instructions for mingw/msys), and after fixing a few  issues to make it 
compile and link, I got a working pan . Not sure how i'd commit this 
upstream, and I'm not entirely sure how portable two of the fixes are. 
Also, this only works in the mingw environment, I'm not sure how to get 
a windows executable from it. But at least I have something.
