Yes. That's exactly why it is introduced. To develop for Windows, 
without using Windows as a development environment. It is being used to 
develop virt-manager for Windows.

Will have to ask in in Fedora mingw mailing lists or IRC

It is deliberately kept that way since the on-disk format might still 
change. We don't need everyone jumping on it yet. So the additional 
burden is negligible. This is similar to Ext4 support in Fedora 9. 
Subsequent versions will progressively make it easier as Ext4 has been.
