To quote Warren L. DeLano on building PyMOL on Windows: "Given enough effort, native compilation is certainly do-able, but it is not intended to be easy... nor commonplace." See <http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05696.html> and <http://www.mail-archive.com/pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06761.html>. Interesting read... Is this also Schrodinger's opinion?
