Yes!!  I worked on that some, but I basically never touch Windows  
these days, so it never got done.  It would be awesome if you took  
this on.  I think I still remember the issues, so I might be able to  
assist in some way.

It is most definitely possible to build Pd on MinGW and Cygwin  
using ./configure && make.  In fact, I think doing the work to  
support one would basically be doing the work to support the other,  
besides a few minor differences.

The Pd code is already building with MinGW well, the last thing is to  
fix pd/src/makefile.in and pd/src/configure.in to work with MinGW.   
Cygwin will need a couple fixes in the C sources, as you are  
discovering :), but it should not be too difficult.
