It is possible, sure.  But why do you want to do this?  The Windows
code isn't really actively maintained.

Maybe, but that is likely to be hard.  You might get farther by trying
to get the gcc 3.0 snapshot and see how far it gets.  However, even
that won't fully work on Windows.  It might get further into the build
process.
