I made a try at it, once.. but it has lotsa subdirectories and 
libraries... without working Makefiles is not-so-easy to figure out how 
to compile.
Moreover the source code is written so "Windows-like" (and I know *no* 
Windows programming) that I can't understand which part of the code is 
Windows-specific and which one just uses Windows names for "normal 
things"...

Hint: the author now accepts 20$ registration with email support... 
maybe if we get some people pay him to do help in basic 7z "gcc" support 
he would do that sooner, something like "look, we have 20 paying users, 
but we would like cygwin supoprt soon, pleeeeaseeee" 0=)
(porting is already in his to-do list... at the bottom of it, actually)
