Thanks a lot!!! 
I have recompiled gnustep-base by specifying absolute path for config-file
:

./configure --prefix=/GNUstep --enable-libffi
--with-config-file=${MSYS_FULLPATH}/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf
--with-installation-domain=SYSTEM

and then I have replaced in GNustep.conf all occurences of /xxx by
c:..../xxx and
now I have a working ProjectCenter with colors (not so much actually ;-).

But maybe there is another trick to not have to edit manually
GNustep.conf, if you know it please let me know.
I could also tried to pass absolute path to prefix or another specific
solution would be to
check if a MSYS_FULLPATH is defined and in this case, your api could
append it to posix path.
It would allow a smooth integration with msys and we could use either
win32 absolue path or
posix-style path. 

I confirm that cairo has some issues because windows are completely black,
I will investigate.
