Anybody with a fast computer running lilydev can build a windows
binary with GUB.  Anybody with a fast computer running a different
linux should be able to build a windows binary with GUB, but I'd
budget 10 hours of fixing bugs in GUB before you get there.
(that's a "budget", not an "estimate" -- if you're lucky it will
work out of the box)

On your computer, I'd guess that GUB will take about 4 hours to
compile all the stuff it needs, and then 15 minutes to produce a
lilypond .exe.


(oh, you also need a decent internet connection; it needs to
download about 600 megs of source files.  If that's the only thing
holding you back, I could send you a CD by post.  I'll send it
with only a thin cardboard CD cover this time.  :)
