It always was. I'm just surprised you took so long to realise it :-).

For libsndfile, my solution has been :

  - Use MinGW on windows.
  - Release pre-compiled binaries.

I provide basic instructions for compling using MinGW:

And if anyone asks why I don't just ship project files, I point them
to the FAQ which explains why:

    http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/FAQ.html#Q019

The main problem with the above is that I need to have a windows
machine that I actually don't use for anything else.

The other problem is that MinGW currently does not support compiling
for 64 bit windows. From what I hear, that is coming.

This may be an option for you to consider.
