I've got exactly 10 years' experience as a Win32 coder, most of it on
the server side. I haven't yet committed any time to the effort, but I
suppose if I keep yacking on this list, then I'll have to.
I really think what Steve Tibbett said is right on the money:

I'll guess that once any Win32 version is out there with a nice
installer and documentation, it will quickly become popular. It probably
won't too slow for most uses, although benchmarkers might form lasting
first impressions from it. This will probably reveal a demand for a
threaded version.
