Are there other circumstances, where pcb might want to run a shell script?
Would it help, if cygwin were installed?

Fortunately, I avoid the m4 lib with my projects ;-)
Are there more major features that have yet to make it into the windows 
version?

The ":" key opens the command line utility just fine. 
Left-clicking several times to the main part of the pcb window didn't 
help. pcb just does nothing when it is supposed to zoom -- No matter 
whether the zoom action should be triggered by the mouse wheel, by the z 
key, or by a click in the menu.

works :-)
We try "cd", too.

gschem failed to start whenever the gafrc contained a gentenv statement. 
(I also use the gentenv command to for the path of the local user library)


Some more notes from the student:

gschem: The "close" item in the file menu quits the application. Should 
close the current sheet, only. The linux version also misbehaves like 
that.  

gschem GUI: The multi-window-approach got a bit of a frown. This may be 
in part, because windows always puts the windows to the upper left corner 
of the monitor.
