Unfortunately, my cat won't be able to help for a little while. He's
broken
both his back legs !!! (This really is true...)

It doesn't quite work out of the box. I haven't yet documented all my
changes. Most of these were related to changing the IO from UNIX sockets
to Winsock. Even now, I have the problem with non-blocking IO. This is
because of the way the event loop is managed in glib. I intend to work
on this shortly. I think you can make this work using Winsock2 events
but I don't yet have a working glib compilation environment.
I'll let you know if I make any progress.

Just the IO really as mentioned above. And my current build procedure
is really messy and needs a lot of work.

I would try compiling under cygwin first. If this works then start
porting to mingw32.
