The howto is there. It's still no complete but works (with an ugly, still
unfinished, patch). I've only tested with CLAM core, audioio and
processing,
as I don't need other stuff.

The patch as a lot of problems:
1) Require field of pkg-config is ok, but CFLAGS and LIBS still has wrong
behaviour: (they still refers to Windows absolute paths and not MinGW
ones,
they have duplcate entries and so on)
2) I'm using scons for Windows... And scons is working outside MinGW. This
means that /mingw must always translate to its real location or
nothing will work.
This makes difficult to install and package clam in another directory.
I've used sandbox as a trick to workaround this, but it is VERY ugly.
3) Installation basically doesn't work. It install all in C:\mingw
instead of the
/mingw directory.

I hope to find the time to fix these issues soon, but I'm quite busy
rigth now.

I don't know where to put the patch, so I attach it here.
It will be useful to merge at least the spawn and test_with_pkgconfig
part of
the patch. As they're general and quite stable, right now.

Cheers,
    Giulio.
