[Texmacs-dev] Windows port of TeXmacs ( was: GCL on Cygwin for Axiom)

[Bill Page]

Does anyone here on the TeXmacs list have any
experience with libw11 and/or win32-x11? Would
either of these simplify porting TeXmacs to
Windows? Note: Apparently guile 1.4 is available
in a Windows/MinGW version. What else might be
needed?

Regards,
Bill Page.
