Congratulations, Jason.

Actually, I am an (inexperienced) gEDA user on Ubuntu GNU/Linux, but I have
co-workers still using Windows, and they are eager to try gEDA. We are all
impressed by the ideas of comunity, voluntary effort and free tools. It is also
in my team's best interest for all of us to use the same tools.

By the way, I have also compiled, very recently, the same version of gEDA/gaf
you mention, on Cygwin. Care to compare notes? I have put mine on the gEDA wiki,
with the site admin permission:
http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:installation#windows_install_notes

On the other hand, I am also willing to test your package.

I have also compiled gschem on MinGW, and I intend to send patches soon. I first
want to start from a clean state, to make sure I did't forget anything. If it is
stable enough, perhaps we could try making a Windows installer...

I hope the developers will not mind (much) if they start getting bug reports for
Windows-specific issues. I intend to make my best efforts to help.

Cesar
