I have installed 3.2rc2 on Windows XP using Cygwin. The instructions in the 
wiki should be very close to accurate, with only minor tweaks needed when 
the 3.2 release is finalized. I did not build the usrp2, comedi, sdl, or 
qtgui modules. The inband code does not link properly on Cygwin, but this 
does not stop the build of the rest of the code.

gnuradio-3.2rc2 does not build on MinGW because of the new requirement for 
an aligned malloc() function. I expect this will be fixed, or you can work 
around it. Again, I think the instructions in the wiki are pretty close.

Yes and yes, with Cygwin, and it should be possible in time (or with more 
work) on MinGW. I have no information on other build environments.
