I forgot one thing.  src/arx/include/Spawn.hpp and
src/arx/utility_functions/Spawn.cpp use glib to spawn processes.  That
seems to work on pure Win32

  http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/

so maybe nothing has to be done.

However, I am not certain that gnome-vfs can not run on windows.  A
while ago, I made a bundle of stuff that is required for gnome-vfs,
and the things that I had to include are

GConf-2.4.0.1
gnome-mime-data-2.4.0
libbonobo-2.4.1
ORBit2-2.9.0
gnome-vfs-2.5.0
libxml2-2.6.0
pkgconfig-0.15.0
glib-2.2.3
libIDL-0.8.2

Also, I found a previous post about networking libraries

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/arx-users/2003-11/msg00003.html

I had forgotten that libcurl doesn't handle webdav, which is pretty
critical if you want to read my archive ;)
