I was actually using MSYS to build a MinGW version.  As has already been 
stated, pnet isn't quite yet ready for native Win32.  I simply don't have the 
time to code for it, but it seemed to be a matter of a bidirectional pipe, 
IIRC.  I did post a preliminary patch but I don't remember that it went 
anywhere or that the patch worked.

Once a native Win32 version is possible.  Using MSYS to build it should be a piece of cake.  
Just configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make install.  No special switch 
required.
