Lout should build out-of-the-box with Cygwin. (But I haven't built 
it recently.) [A]

There is some MinGW builds too, but manpower is short and thus it 
would not be a good idea to rely on that. [B]

I dabbled with [B] for the old SF site long ago; I recommend [A] 
now. But I haven't really checked the new non-gnu site and stuff 
so this information may be out-of-date with respect to that.
