Comment(by nthiery):

 Hi!

 I just obtained the following with gap3 on winxp1 (win XP + cygwin host in
 the Sage build farm):

 {{{
 gap> W := CoxeterGroup("E",8);
 CoxeterGroup("E",8)
 gap> Size(W);
 696729600
 }}}

 For the record: I did not have Sage installed, so I did not try directly
 the spkg. Instead, I built and ran it by hand, using something like:

 {{{
 tar xvf gap3-jm2.spkg
 cd gap3-jm2/src/src
 make ibm-i386-linux-gcc
 cd ..
 cp src/gap.exe bin
 <EDIT bin/gap.sh>
 bin/gap.sh
 }}}

 In bin/gap.sh, I set GAP_PRG=gap.exe, and downgraded GAP_MEM=512m to
 GAP_MEM=64m (otherwise I was getting an error Gasman: can not get memory
 for the initial workspace).

 So I assume that it should be easy to adapt the spkg to also work on
 windows+cygwin once sage will be more publicly available there (windows 7
 still to be tested).
