Another: Win32 release should perhaps include some more free-license libraries, like PostgreSQL, SSL etc.. to simplify setup. Maybe even mysql.

Yes, in ideal world I would personally deliver "online" and "offline" install.exe. The online would be just couple of kB file, which would let user configure what should be installed. (U++, MINGW, SDL, PSQL, ...) Those parts would be downloaded than, and installed.
Offline installer would contain everything (so it would be several MB big file), but it would work without internet connection. (visually it would behave in the same way as online installer)

I think right now we are at "offline" installer, with having several different .exe with different things bundled (right now just MINGW vs non-MINGW). Sticking to this path may lead to 4-5 installers maybe (some common configurations). As the build process will be fully automated, I think this is still viable to maintain and usable. The online/offline model would just lessen the strain on newcomers, so they would need to choose just from 2 options, not 4-5 of them.

Edit:
and the "online" installer should be usable to ADD some package later after the U++ is already installed without it. Or even "remove" some part of it (although I think that's really just adding some polish, not really needed function, the ADD is important part).
