i have never used this on w32 so i will not be of help here.
if somebody does the work, i will try to include it in the Gem sources.

work has been done in the past to build Gem on w32 using cygwin.
afair, it involved patching the DirectX-SDK header files, somthing i  
don't really want.

and i don't want to drop support for M$VC altogether.
i will also refrain from dropping support for building Gem with g++,  
just because intel's compiler produces better code.


however, this is exactly why i pulled this thread in this direction:  
like in pd-extended, manpower is simply missing; even if you are  
willing to spend time working on this and i were willing to spend time  
working on pd-ext, we still only have 24 hours per day.
i am not sure, whether it is such a good idea to put additional  
workload on those who already carry their fair share.
