No, I have done it, recently, for the 3.8bx VM. Can send the hacked  
scripts if someone wants to save time.

In a nightmare fashion, yes. It tries to translate everything into a .dll  
call to Win$$ so all Squeak plugins must be set to internal because most  
of them call back (which does seem to be a problem between .dll and its  
.exe on win$$ in general).

And, you'll have to use cygwin's (not so stable) X11. In particular, there  
is no lfb (linear frame buffer) offered other than by X11. And, Squeak  
(aio?) is very unstable under cygwin: it can be run without timer or else  
without mouse, one really has choice ;-)
