Using MinGW as a BR isn't really an issue.  If we did it Debian's way
the resulting nsis tool itself would run natively under Fedora... like
our MinGW executable does?

is there a reason why should not prefer to have a native nsis executable?

It seems to me that we should prefer native executables when its
possible, and treat anything non-native as exceptions which will
require some oversight.
