Peter Baxendale is almnost there with his cygwin port. He does it once a 
year to serve the local students. For whoever missed the announcement 
last month: I put the latest port by Peter along with the latest direct 
windows port by Cesar for download on my wiki in Hannover. I will update 
as soon as one of them releases a new version.

Address of the wiki page is at (sorry, german only):
http://bibo.iqo.uni-hannover.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=fertigung:start#geda

Tiny link to the cygwin package: http://tinylink.com/?R2MalpkGfB 
(124 MB, includes all the necessary cygwin tools)

Tiny link to the cross compile: http://tinylink.com/?m67b9f9NqN  
(55 MB)

Did anyone actually try and use these downloads yet?

This depends a lot on what is expected. 
If it is just about running and maintaining a bunch of scripts, there may 
be volunteers who would see this as their contribution to the project and 
do it for free. It would be healthy if this volunteer would be an active 
windows user. So he/she stands a chance to immediately see some blunder 
cropping up.

If it is about targeting and hunting down windows/linux 
incompatibilities, the workload involved might explode.
