Dan Stanger has recently reported some success using:
- a mingw build of gcl,
- a build of an mid 2001 version of maxima.
I thing that this is the way to go in the short term, as we know it
worked once. I agree that it will be easier to package and distribute a
windows binary that doesn't depend on cygwin. I saw my cygwin build as
a step in the right direction, rather than the end of the road.
I will try to duplicate Dan's work over the next week or so.

Has anyone tried the new build system in a Windows environment? I know
some excellent work was done earlier with Cygwin and Clisp - is it
possible to make a self contained binary from that setup? (I apologize
for not having been more responsive to the earlier attempts. You guys
deserve a lot of credit - thanks much.)
