gEDA-dev: windows installers -- push it a bit more

[Kai-Martin Knaak]

If I interpret the recent thread on windows installers correctly, much 
work has already been done and we are "almost there". So I decided to try 
and push it a bit more, to get it to the point where an windows 
installable toolchain gschem-gnetlist-pcb-gerbv exists and can be updated 
when new versions of geda/gaf/pcb are released. Since I am quite a noob 
at windows, but working with linux at my dayjob since 1996, 
crosscompiling seems like the only option. However, there are all kinds 
of windows machines available for testing at my day job.

-------------------------------------
Summary on what has already been achieved (correct me if I am wrong):

* gschem: Peter Clifton reported success for a crosscompile with Mingw32 
after some tweaking. 

* gnetlist: According to Peter C. it gnetlist crosscompiled nearly out of 
the box.

* gsch2pcb: no cross compile success reported yet.

* pcb: There is a windows installer for version 1.99 based on the nsis 
installer. (Who did this?)

* gerbv: There is a windows port available at sourceforge :-)

----------------

To get me started, I'd like to reproduce the nsis installer of pcb with 
the current version. Whoever achieved this major mile stone, can you 
supply me with notes on which tools to use, tweaks to make and docs to 
read?
