I have seen the fixes for MinGW have been included to 0.4.5 release.

am unable to find the windows binaries on the site, which were to be

windows, please share them with me.
SAKAI already shared me link to build virsh windows executable using a
guide, but I am having some setup issues. It is missing some basic
instruction such as MinGW setup. Where should I setup MinGW? a fedora or
windows machine and where to get its distribution? The directory structure
suggests that I should use fedora.
Why is the MinGW guide is not published on your site as you are actively
work on it?
The MinGW port is being actively discussed and worked on. However it
is work in progress and at the moment we are not supplying binaries -
you will have to build it yourself. This is not trivial - I suggest
you find someone who knows how to compile software to help you.
Here is the project SIG:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/MinGW
This contains a working build chain for libvirt which builds the
libvirt-0.dll and virsh.exe (make sure you read the README file
first):
