As I remember, you don't need mingw. Just install LibUSB-Win32 and it should work.
Also you can see my gPowerSwitch program. It works on Windows, but you need few more libraries - GTK and LibGLADE win32 libs.
I can't tell is gPowerSwitch works with more recent versions of PowerSwitch, because I didn't check it (and have no time for this, sorry), but I think it will. (I've wrote it with PowerSwitch v.2006-07-18 )
Good luck!

gPowerSwitch should still work since we have not changed the API.

PowerSwitch ships with a Windows executable and libusb-win32 which must be installed. You need minGW only if you want to compile form the source code.
