We (CodeSourcery) are very interested in Windows host support. (We
distribute QEMU with our commerical development products for
ARM/PowerPC/MIPS/SH/ColdFire/x86.) Unfortunately, we've mostly been
backporting patches lately and haven't done a full merge from upstream
in some time, so we haven't noticed any potential breakage. If somebody
wanted to point out to me what the (potential) Windows issues are, we
could take a look.
