It works fine with Cygwin, but AFAIK the event loop would need major 
surgery for 'native' Windows/mingw32 as Windows treats sockets 
differently than files, it'd need to have a way to integrate other wait 
handles into the event loop (so no using select/poll), etc..

I'm planning to switch to glib+glibmm for the mingw32 support, but 
glib/mingw32 is currently affected by at least these two bugs that cause 
problems:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338943

Nothing's ever easy I guess. :)
