From the mailing list:

So, Aristid and myself have both been poking at this problem every so
often, trying to use MSVC. We didn't actually manage to get anything
running successfully.

So today I decided to try MinGW.

And after a lot of trial and error, I got it to run!

C:\>c:\flusspferd\bin\flusspferd.exe
> sys = require('system')
[object Object]
> sys.stdout
[object NativeObject]
> sys.env
[object sys.Environment]
> sys.env.PATH
C:\spidermonkey\lib;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files\CMake 2.6\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;
> require('os').system('dir')
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 5469-9BA6

The steps are a little bit convoluted to build manually, but if anyone wants to duplicate my efforts, I've documented them on the wiki.

And of course, a zipfile so you can play yourselves! http://flusspferd.org/downloads/flusspferd-win32-0.6.1.129.g2699d.zip

Currently it needs to live in C:\flusspferd (so unpack the zip into c:\ root, it contains the flusspferd folder.)
