I'm playing with that again at the moment, I got pcb to work (not hard,
since the portability code was already there), and have compiled guile
(nearly), and identified a few minor points in libgeda which need fixup.

There are a few challenges though - mingw doesn't do "fork", so "popen"
in guile 1.6.x at least won't work without modifying for windows.

I'll keep people updated to the progress.

PS: Don't expect this to work, or for me to release .exe file of new
gEDA releases.. If by some miracle it works, I'll be happy to post the
files - but they'll come with limited or no support.
