As a preliminary note, I'd suggest sending future mails to the 
sourceforge mailing list.

I am able to compile the above mentioned source under Linux after I 
hunt down old versions of everything.  I don't know if it will 
compile under Windows.  In any case, we have abandoned that line of 
the source code and are working to get the wx2.4 version in shape.  
Though we have no step by step instructions, I'm sure people on the 
sourceforge list would be willing to help with any problems compiling 
under windows.  To get started under windows, I'd probably try the 
following:

1.  Grab the cygwin tools suite, including things like g++, bash, 
make.

2.  Grab the current CVS source using instructions on the jazz 
sourceforge page.  You could probably use the cvs client that comes 
with the cygwin tools suite.

3.  Run ./configure and make and either:
        a)  Fix what breaks and send us patches.
        b)  Complain about what breaks and hope that somebody knows
             what to do. :)

At the very moment I'm writing this mail, the configure script is not 
in the CVS.  I will be adding it very shortly.  Technically, if you 
have the autoconf, automake tools installed, you don't need it.  If 
you have those tools installed, you could try the ./rebuild script.
