It's actually pretty easy to do. Just follow the instructions in
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32/contrib/MPlayer-MinGW-Howto.txt


Personally, I don't use the --prefix option with x264's configure. When it's
time to compile ffmpeg, I run configure --enable-x264
--extra-cflags=-I/local/include --extra-ldflags=-L/local/lib or something
pretty similar.

Also, for future reference, this sort of question is probably better suited
to ffmpeg-user.

Good luck!
