Hi Richard,

I'm not sure about mingw/cygwin but I do have an unofficial port of pil-64
that runs on windows using midipix --
https://github.com/joebo/picoLisp-win-x86-64

My port has somewhat stalled as midipix is moving a bit slower than I
expected.

If I recall, most tests were passing and it worked reasonably well for
prototyping on windows. I wouldn't use it for production apps

Sockets and forking seemed to be stable and fast. Database locking does not
work though.

I started to look into using the windows api to lock (LockFile)... but
stopped as midipix was going to be adding support for it "soon"  as-of 6
months ago or so. It's not been added to midipix yet.

If it was needed, I think it could be added to the shim and then
incorporated into the assembly code

https://github.com/joebo/picoLisp-win-x86-64/blob/master/src64/arch/win-x86-64-native_shim.c

Aside from a proof of concept, I haven't moved forward on keeping this up
to date with the latest pil or pushing it forward. If there was community
interest, I'd be more motivated to push it forward

Thanks,
Joe
