Hey, I've built tinc for windows myself recently. If you can install
Debian in VM, then it's not that hard as it looks. Tinc website even
includes guide for quick start:
http://www.tinc-vpn.org/examples/cross-compiling-windows-binary/

Even when it's not a problem to cross compile software for me I
followed it because I am lazy :)

I needed to build Tinc for Windows because I made some changes to
source code recently which makes it incompatible with original protocol.

I cross compiled many things from Windows to Windows (32->64), and I
usually develop on Windows using only mingw.
