That would probably be Rio (CCed him because of what we both saw).

I guess it's a waste of time because the windows-port requires Gtk+ with 
a win32-backend, not one based on X11. The port is meant to be built on 
MinGW inside a shell-environment (either Cygwin with a MinGW compiler 
installed or MSYS).
Eventually we should decouple the windowing-code from the 
information-gathering-code, that would make building on OS X easier as 
well (OS X has Gtk+/X11 and Gtk+/Quartz, Makefiles have one target for 
each).

Right now you may grab the source at (repository may change to Mercurial 
after 2.3.5 is out):
https://svn.srcbox.net/projects/gkrellm/trunk/

I haven't packaged sources mainly because there usually is no need to 
compile things yourself on windows. Furthermore official releases share 
the same codebase, i.e. the release-tarball made by Bill is used for 
building the win32-binaries.
