Well, certainly sounds like there is enough interest out there for it. Being a programmer (and one who is still trying to port an GTK/GTK+ based [programmer] tool from Linux -> Win32) I'm still uncertain how realistic it is. Renaud? Do you you have any input as to how realistic it would be to get cygwin-based nessusd & nessus (CLI & GUI) from 'current' code? How about the same for mingw (without cygwin)?
Also, is there an nessus-devel list that this would be better moved to?
