Mmmm I'm afraid I can't do that, be cause that machine doesn't have
MinGW and I'm not allowed to install it there.

I tried to create a similar environment at home, by creating an ubuntu
virtual machine with virtualbox, and publishing (via samba) some
folder in ubuntu, so that I can't define a network unit from my host
windows OS.  But I didn't get it to work.

Another possibility would be to compile a modified version of Emacs
which dumps any useful information to a file, for example.
