The reason I would be interested in this is that Windows XP has this
component currently referred to as Interix/Services For Unix (and
there's a third name - something like Services for Unix Applications)
which provides a POSIX API for applications.  

Having GNOME libraries, etc. supported on Windows would make it easier to
build and run an environment which supported GNOME compliant applications
in that environment.
