Alright, I just built the whole thing and took it for a
test drive. As originally predicted, Mldonkey is definately
not a replacement for the windows eDonkey client; it will
bring your system down unless you set the maximum number of
connections incredibly low. Also, searching for files
appears to spawn more mldonkey instances, most of which do
not exit until the server is shut down. There also appear
to be problems with it losing the files in the temp
directory.
These problems may eventually be resolved by future builds
of the cygwin layer, the sockets issues could probably be
at least helped by using windows sockets instead of
cygwin's implementation of BSD sockets. Of course this
would require changes to the non-gnu parts of the program
which is probably not worth it anyways.
If you're unhappy with the performance of the official
windows client, try a different version, many people have
success with 56, 58 works decently for me.
I'm not going to post the build. If you want to try it for
yourself, download cygwin at www.cygwin.com, then just
follow the porting instructions on the homepage (but make
sure to run make install after make world opt opt.opt on
ocaml, and its tar xzf ocaml-3.04.tar.gz, jxf isn't going
to do it. Also, you need to run make depend before trying
make open_mldonkey)

It seems that the bug came from CR/LF problems. The patch
on the WEB page has been updated, so that you need to
repatch ocaml and try to compile again...
