This might be a question for Ken. A few years ago, it was possible to compile Moses as a native Windows application using an internal language model that emulated SRILM but was limited to only 3 grams. I tried it back then. Performance was slow and quality was sub-par because of the 3-gram limit.
With all the internal changes to Moses, including KenLM and others, is a native Windows compile still an option or is it limited to only posix/cgwin systems?
