I haven't been able to give it a shot yet, but I plan on attempting to 
compile Freeciv using Mingw/Gcc on Windows using Eclipse to handle both 
the compiling and CVS management of the Freeciv CVS tree.  As soon as I 
do get a chance to try this out I'll let everyone know how it goes.  
I've successfully connected to the Freeciv CVS server using Eclipse 3.0 
with the CDT plugin, so hopefully it won't be a monumental challenge to 
compile it through Eclipse as well.
