I am also on Windows and have struggled a good deal with Leiningen (I would like to avoid wrangling classpaths myself as far as possible). I finally got Leiningen to run, but some features like lein swank still elude me (though this is a problem of swank-clojure and not of Leiningen). I agree that Windows is a second class citizen as far as clojure tools go. For most of my clojure work I run Ubuntu inside VirtualBox - but I would rather use clojure + tools from Windows directly.
