I haven't tried cygwin32 but with M$ Visual C++ 6.0 the client just
crashes for some reason.

Actually it's very non trivial because GTK+ Win32 is filled with
bugs/missing features. You see it's kinda new and there's only one guy
working on it.
I'll look further at Win32 porting once we get 1.8.1 out.  If someone
feels like they're up to the task they're more than welcome to proceed.
I'll help them in whatever way i can.
