Actually mine run under cygwin.  I just use the -mno-cygwin flag to 
produce a non-cygwin binary.  FWIW, I don't build any of the 
dependencies, I was able to download them all.  For geda though guile 
probably needs to be compiled.

As near as I can tell, gerbv Just Works on windows now.  Even printing. 
  pcb mostly works.  Neither has received much testing on windows.
