Hi Alex,
You may want to have a look at cygwin, a "Unix-like" environment on top of
Windows (I'm sure there is a better description than that, but it will have
to do for now).
It's a Cygnus (a RedHat Company[tm] etc) project, and you'll find all your
favourites such as gcc, bash, MySQL (!) and I'm pretty sure mutt compiles
under it too. It's great having a bash prompt under the other OS
sometimes... But of course, you're playing with foundations of sand then,
aren't you?
Try it out - last time I used it it was pretty stable. No links, because I'm
never sure where links to Cygnus will end up these days... ;)
(When I read your subject line, I wondered why you thought this was
off-topic -> I wish there were a bit more development oriented stuff on
SLUG... But yes, porting from Lin. to Win. is kinda backwards!)

keyboard and mutt)
