No... MingW isn't mentioned as one of the Windows methods on Sigil's Wiki or the INSTALL.txt file provided with the source (although I'm sure it could be finagled as well). There's the Windows SDK (still uses MSVC compiler, but everything must be done via the command-line with 'nmake')... and there's the method that uses Full blown Visual $tudio project files. Both methods need the Qt libraries.
I'm not sure which method the devs use to produce the distributed Windows Binaries, but it doesn't seem to provide the entity substitution either. That's why I was confused about the claim that certain characters were being converted to entities since version 4. I'm just not seeing that happen on Windows with 0.5.3 or the latest beta (stock binary or built from source). *shrugs*

No, they just don't appear as expected. Not even when saving/closing Sigil and reopening do the entities appear. \u00ad
stays \u00ad and \u2014
stays \u2014. I just assumed this was the planned behavior until I started looking at the source.

Simple? Yes. Best? Not really yours to decide. I welcome the inline ToC generation feature of Sigil... it's not like people are going to be forced to use it or anything. They still have choices. And contrary to your perpetual anti-inline-TOC-in-ePubs campaign, some people still prefer to include them in their ePubs--regardless of if they're ever going to be converted to MOBI (and certainly regardless of the fact that you'd rather they didn't
).
