I think we should continue to wait a while and continue doing
community building. Meanwhile, one of the following might happen:

* Either someone joins and fixes/maintains the Windows build, or
* Windows support for *nix compatibility will become much more
extensive over time

I have a feeling that the second item will happen eventually, based on
the trajectory of MS adopting a lot of Linux and open source stuff in
general over the last few years.
