There are three levels of which you can port the code to Win32)

1) Cygwin
2) MinGW
3) VC++

A Cygwin port should work with very little effort.  However, there has 
been some reports of linking problems.

A MinGW port may take a bit more effort but it is doable.  I will accept 
patches so that Aspell can compile with MinGW

a VC++ is a lot more work due to the non-standard C++ compiler.  A 
port for VC++ will generally be distributed as a separate patch.
