This does change things a bit, meaning that if you want to make the Beagle Board a "headless" system and use a laptop or other system to run the EMC2 GUI, that GUI has to be TkEMC or Mini.

It is a real time scheduler, task manager, and maybe just a little more than that. It is not in any way a parallel to the Linux kernel. You do your compiling on WINDOWS, only, it seems.
