Yes, windows user need to spend quite a time to have everything setup. 
That's the reason why I thought we should provide a binary package for 
Windows with libraries for MinGW and Visual C++ 6.0 (which can be used 
for all other Visual C++ as well, I think). Together with the headers 
and data files. This is actually all you need for c/c++ development on 
Windows.

Apart from that, it may be the smartest than to write Windows batch 
files or jim/tcl files. From the jim website I think it should be no 
problem that jim compiles on most compilers - I'll write a cmake file 
and test it on various Windows compilers.

Regards,
Werner
