Both methods should work. I never did it, but it's an autoconf package and is 
already ported on windows, so I guess you can compile it with mingw32. It 
should be as simple as

./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --prefix=/some/path
make
make install

Set a prefix to install it in a separate place or you'll mess up your system. 
I generaly put all my mingw32 packages in ~/local-win32, but of course you 
can choose any place you want.

But maybe is there a precompiled package somewhere, in which case you just 
have to uncompress it in some place and use it as is. I think cygwin provides 
that.
