I think the latest release will compile under Windows as well, IRIC with
both Cygwin and MS tools. I am currently working on creating XML data
formats using the libxml2 library. (src/gmxlib/xmlio.c is very primitive
and not functional in the 3.1 release, in CVS it is beginning to get
somewhat more complete). The main effort goes into creating DTDs right
now.

If you don't want to use configure you can ofcourse make your code
conditional (#ifdef) and compile with certain CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

Groeten, David.
