There are several approaches to Windows compatibility at the moment:
- Lode Leroy's cygwin,
- Johannes Berg's native Win32,
- Compiling on Windows Services for Unix. 
It's a question of what aproach is optimal.  There are compatibility 
questions mainly because of the long filenames Arch uses.  (Such names 
aren't supported by fat32 or cygwin)
