There should be no major differences between cross-compiling a Windows application from WSL and from Ubuntu. However, WSL would make it easier to maintain up-to-date dependencies, since many of them have build systems that don't work very well on Windows.

If you'd be up for writing a step-by-step procedure for folks, that
would be good to include on the Inkscape wiki; or perhaps even on the
main website if it can be boiled down to just a few steps.

If that can be done, then shouldn't it be possible to cross build for
Windows on Linux directly?
