Compiling amanda on an (ugh) Windows box?

[Gene Heskett]

Does anyone know of a decent compiler for windows thats not a bank 
breaker?  I'd like to see if its buildable for the general run of W95 
and W98 machines. 

And has anyone made amanda work as client on a windows box other than 
via samba?  In other words, am I just spinning my wheels to even think 
about it?

Cheers, Gene
