Yes, the build system has a lot of linuxism in it... however, it's worked
on FreeBSD, NetBSD, IRIX, and Cygwin with a little tweaking. You could
compile under cygwin but target a mingw32 environment, or even cross-compile
mingw32 from linux.

The network code is the only real OS-specific piece that's not already
separated into the 'os' directory, though it's already #ifdef'ed for windows
support. The OS directory would need a file implementing timers, directory
traversal, and a few other odds and ends.
