OK, I stand corrected:

"Steven Edwards explained a way to do it..."

"You can make a dummy file in your application directory called 
application.exe.local to force Windows to use the dlls in the local 
directory. So say you have IEXPLORE.EXE you would create 
IEXPLORE.EXE.LOCAL and drop the Mingw compiled dlls in to the 
application folder and see how it runs."
