Timo is also working on this.  See www.winpt.org

There is no licensing issue - I just don't build windows versions for free.

You might run into problem with too many open contexts.  IIRC,
Cygwin32 has a low limit on the maximum file descriptors you can use
in a select().  OTOH, the vanilla windows version needs many threads
to emulate a select().  It is a very stupid design to have a
WaitOnMultipleObjects() without the ability to wait on a file/pipe
handle.
