That's sad.  Any university that is exclusively windows is doing 
a grave disservice to the students.

The stable 0.35 release of gnucap can be compiled with mingw, to 
produce a windows binary that works.  I don't have a way to 
test it, but can compile it, and have received reports that it 
works.

The development snapshot has problems with plugins on mingw.  It 
compiles, but supposedly the plugins don't work.  I don't have 
a machine to test it on, so if someone wants to help, I would 
really appreciate it.  I think the fix should be simple, 
possibly just figuring out what compiler options to use.
