I tried compiling it with the MS free toolkit but the C compile 
complains about the absence of "gmp.h". Since I see such a header in my 
Cygwin installation I presume it's something that a full VC7 
installation could expect to be present.

Unfortunately modifying the build to use the Cygwin include directory 
gave errors, I suspect because other Cygwin headers were also being 
picked up in error (I just added /cygwin/usr/include to include_dirs.

Compilation ran to completion with the header files from both Cygwin and 
the GNU gmp-static library, but then of course in both cases I was 
missing the gmp library to link it against.

So I'm afraid you might need someone with access to VC to test this on 
Windows for you, sorry.
