Tested on mingw, and found some problems:

virCommandAbort uses WNOHANG for waitpid and kill. Those are not
available resulting in compile errors. A simple workaround would be to
conditionally compile virCommandAbort as it is currently not used in
actual code.

The problem with virsh and the poll-based event loop reported before
[1] is still there. A simple workaround would be to disable the event
loop initialization on mingw.
