We did the same thing 2 months ago. I would recommend downloading the nightly source .zip file and compiling it with TDM Mingw ( http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/ ), because we had to get 100,000 lines of Clipper code to compile with Harbour. And the dev's (very nicely and quickly) here made many changes to the compiler in order to get my thing working, which are not present in the STABLE branch of Harbour.
Glad you found out about the project too! As far as donations, you have to go to the staff page on the Harbour Project site in order to find which devs are most helpful to you etc, and try and see if a donate button is on their page.
