Work is documented at

Currently I'm stymied in even compiling the thing.by Cygwin's header
files clashing with Wine's. My next scurvy trick will probably involve
Parity/Cygwin or Parity/Interix.

It's a project strictly for amusement's sake, given the fact that it
won't be able to launch apps! But yes, it would be a useful thing to
get working, so I wouldn't call it a waste of time.

(I'm at home on-call for the next week, so living in XP, so I may have
time to have another good go at it. More people would be most useful.)
