Since quite a while I see a hint here or there that someone wants to
compile a Windows version containing some of the gEDA modules. But
somehow that seems to always fizzle.

Is there a realistic chance we'll ever see a somewhat "official"
Windows version? Maybe along the lines of "Here, use it but please
don't call us for support."

I know that it's possible to compile it for Windows. However, lots of
us are more hardware guys, don't have compilers, don't have much
experience doing that, and would need something that installs itself
just like other CAD software does. After that we could be productive
for the group by contributing library models, tricks and so on. For
many reasons hardware guys can't migrate away from Windows, mainly
because things like the mechanical CAD, beamfield simulators and the
like would then quit.
