Libggi should build on win32 with GNU make and mingw32/cygwin32.
On cygwin it should build out-of-the box, but mingw requires some
tweaking. I did get the stars demo to run on win32 using the
X-target around June, but cygwin32 seems to have some problems
with DLLs, and it also requires the cygwin.dll, so I haven't
done any more work for cygwin32.

The remaining job for a working win32 port is to write a DirectX
target, and find a compiler that builds a win32 libggi properly...
If you want to try writing a libggi makefile (or whatever it uses)
for Visual C++ it would be great.
