So does the MinGW build work at all without jansson, considering its
functionality is fairly reduced in scope compared to the Unix builds?

Either way, at least Arch seems to have a MinGW package for it:

so it's probably just a matter of sitting down, coming up with a
suitable .spec and getting it into Fedora.
