You do know that there are several list archives?

Than Windows? Yes.

And you completely forgot Python.

Yes, I have tried.

You might be surprised that Cygwin is supported. But then, you could have 
seen it in the Makefile.

I also tried to port git to MinGW. This project is stalled a little, 
because there is really, really, _really_ much to adapt.

MinGW inherits the problem of Windows being utterly non-POSIX, and that 
has to be worked around.

HOWEVER, if you would like to continue where I left off, I'll send you a 
repo URL where you can download it.
