Hi Michael,

I've just been investigating this and, although I'm not a complete 
stranger to building with MingW, my initial findings are that I'm a bit 
out of my depth. Statements like 'Cyrus SASL on Windows is still 
laregely a "work in progress"' and Jonathan Bowman's experiences 
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=7a2b5dfb0702100528t64cfeaf0gd7859338f998a0d0%40mail.gmail.com) 
suggest that I am very unlikely to succesfully navigate my with through 
such unfamiliar territory in a reasonable time-frame.

I am, however, in a position to offer a donation to the project, if that 
would allow someone with more experience than me to complete the build 
(any takers?).

Alternatively I am willing to be persuaded that the DIY option isn't as 
tricky as appears, so if someone is willing to offer me some extended 
pointers they would be greatly appreciated.
