To reduce future maintenance, are we at a point where the MXE-based https://github.com/libvips/build-win64-mxe/ repo might allow us to consider deprecating this repo?

I find jhbuild easier to work with than makefiles, but I might be the only one :)

The other reason for keeping jhbuild would be for building win32 versions of nip2 -- as a gnome project, jhbuild comes with useful stuff to build the gtk stack. Perhaps mxe has that too.
