	The mingw version works under Windows as well using the native
gtk+ libraries.  I even got the guile part under control after spending
some time debugging various quirky behaviors.  Mind you, mingw gEDA/gaf
isn't trivial to build, but it's quite doable if you are willing to
spend the time.

	Yup.  This is my main objection to a Windows "point and click"
type installer.  All of these tools are NOT Windows programs.  They 
do not play nice on Windows.  I don't want negative perceptions of the
gEDA suite to be formed based by users who don't realize the history of
the software.
