I have admittadly not done any research, but through a couple conversations
with odysseas:

-There is (apparently) a set of GNU tools for Win(x) - which includes make,
find, etc.

-I believe you can install command line php.

Everything else should work... but again, I haven't tested anything, and I
don't do development with Win(x) as a server platform.


If you're interested in making a mod on the distro makes so they work with
Win, I'm happy to incorporate them :)

Sort of, but it wouldn't be "re-write" because you woudn't have to write
queries :)

Once you define entities, most of your standard queries are generated for
you. For strange stuff, you can keep you normal SQL that you wrote before.
