Unless one wants to use win32 backend ;) It worked several releases ago, but
in current version it doesn't compile cleanly on cygwin and I gave up my
compilation efforts. Anyway, that was mostly out of curiosity (I primarily use
GNUstep on Linux system; on my Windows machine I have working cygwin
environment and wanted to check how win32 backend works now without installing
mingw); I agree that for practical needs mingw support is enough.
