I had bad experiences a few weeks ago trying to get a working Windows build 
environment going.  I've concluded that MinGW sux rocks.  Haven't tried Cygwin. 
 What are you writing your diplomatic AIs in?  If you were using Python, I'd 
take a go at it.  But I ain't gonna do plain old C.

I'm currently looking at adding Python support to Xconq, for AI and game design 
purposes.

Cheers,
Brandon
