Yes, and might be for a while. On the otherhand it _might_ even work.. =)

Well yes and no. Most of libs are precompiled already, so only thing is 
put up them in proper dir. Some gnome libs need to be compiled but I 
recall that they compiled out of box with proper params.

Only thing is to setup compilation environment. I hope that mingw/msys 
could be used since it would reduce PITA handling those cygwin oddities. 
Only reason I use cygwin is that there isn't working XML::Parser perl 
package for ages old Perl. That was "only" problem at the moment. 
Hopefully things have improved since.

Not at the moment. Eventually there will be some. I haven't even checked 
out CVS changes lately.
