I had some success using this MinGW-based OPAM repository: https://github.com/fdopen/opam-repository-mingw The packages that I needed and that didn't compile in the standard repository were working thanks to patches applied in his repository. Also, the maintainer was very prompt and helpful when dealing with my pull request. There are other forks of that repository, but when googling for "opam windows" they do not appear on the first page, which is unfortunate since they seem to me the best currently available option.
