Well, compiling from source *should* be trivial. Any decently

Really? Before I try, I did a bit math to estimate the hours I am going
to need. Following are my findings in 20 minutes math (by checking
freebsd port's dependency table)
* Cynthinue depends on qt widget (!!) and nasd. Image the hell of
trouble installing these on Windows.
* aspell, tiff, jpeg, png are the libraries that most applications
depending on, need to check if they are already available in
GNUStep-core and MinGW. Some application depend on jbig (MPDCon)
and mng (Cynthinue).
* GNUMail depends on cups, portaudio, libau.
This is only a 20 minute investigation. I am trying to get a sense what
I would end up without a package manager, as I never tried to work
without package manager before (even the rudimentary Cygwin package
manager is a must to me).
