Clang will probably compile GNUstep on Windows, however:

1) I am the person who maintains GNU runtime code generation in clang, and
2) I don't have a Windows machine.

That means that clang's Objective-C support on Windows is basically untested.  
If people want to test it and send me bug reports, then I'm happy to fix 
things, but so far I have not heard from anyone trying it.

Bottom line: People who care about a platform being supported need to be 
willing to test things on that platform.
