Last time I used cygnome project, so it involved using Cygwin, and 
ported gnome2 libraries. (It seems that current status of cygnome2 
libraries are in good shape compared to last time I tried to do - I had 
to compile everything by hand..)

I got mrproject compiled, but there was some problems to get it running 
properly. Most difficulties involved backlinking, because Windows DLL 
doesn't support undefined external references.

I remember that most of changes involved changin generated makefiles...

So I'll give a shot - It can't hurt that many =)
