Only somewhat related, but -- I've just discovered the Cygnus gnu-win32
project [1], which is basically an attempt to have the GNU tools on Win32
(95 + NT). It's not finished yet, but what it means is that as long as
all you need is non-GUI code, you can usually do
./configure ; make
and things work pretty well. Python + NumPy worked fine (once I ifdef'ed
out the four calls which aren't in the Cygnus API yet (pause(),
set/getsockopt(), and setpwent()).
Readline doesn't work yet that I can manage, so I still don't have command
line completion on NT =(. However, all of posix (with the exceptions
noted above) and select() work, which is cool.
