Hi Phil,
i never try to build WebKitGtk from Windows but crosscompile win32 
version from Linux (ArchLinux 64bit) some time ago.
Just made some makefiles changes to prevent use of $(SYMBOL_VISIBILITY)
as for "-lwinmm" i include it as configure options in this script:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${HOME}/mingw32/lib/pkgconfig"
export CPPFLAGS="-I${HOME}/mingw32/include 
-I${HOME}/mingw32/include/pthread `pkg-config glib-2.0 --cflags` 
-D__MINGW_FEATURES__=0x0000000000000001ULL"
export LDFLAGS="-L${HOME}/mingw32/lib"
export LIBS="-luser32 -lshlwapi -lwinmm -lglib-2.0"
export CFLAGS="-O3 -mms-bitfields -march=i686 -mtune=generic 
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -std=c99"
mkdir -p WebKitBuild/Release4win && cd WebKitBuild/Release4win
../../configure \
     --prefix=${HOME}/webkit4win \
     --host=i486-mingw32 \
     --with-target=win32 \
     --enable-3D-transforms \
     --enable-web-sockets \
     --enable-filters \
     --with-font-backend=pango\
     --enable-shared-workers
make -j 3
make install


Not all things works fine although it passes all 15 unittests.
As i need those for some python application i put result on their wiki 
page:
http://gramps-project.or/wiki/index.php?title=GeoView#windows_XP.2FVista

both webkitgtk (no install, bundle of webkit + dependencies from 1.1.16 
svn) and pywebkitgtk (1.1.7)
