You need to use the --compiler=mingw32 switch for the config command as 
well:

python setup.py config --compiler=mingw32 build --compiler=mingw32

There may be a way we can fix this in the setup.py script (so that one 
compiler switch gets applied to all the commands, but it hasn't been 
done yet).
