both libgda and libgnomedb 1.2 compile cleanly on MS systems, without
cygwin. libgnomedb has some things disabled on the Win32 version.

About libbonobo, we are reducing its usage a lot in 1.9/2.0, so it
should be possible to make a better porting work now. No one though is
maintaining the Win32 build, except for some fixes once in a while, so
we'd need someone to look at it, as well as to the Mac OS port, and
build regularly, send patches, etc
