As far as Windows support goes, we're looking to first get support for Visual Studio (Express) working. Support for minGW and cygwin may follow at some later time, if community members want it. ( As always, we'll gladly accept patches if community members want to pave the way on these items.)
Work on windows support is taking place in the dev-windows_support branch currently. Keep an eye on this for daily progress, but note that as it's a "dev" branch, it should be considered unstable -- the HEAD commit may break things from time to time.
A number of the issues mentioned in this thread have been addressed in that branch, and others will be soon. We're looking to have things fixed by Sunday/Monday evening, so check back soon!
