No, this project has been cancelled. I remember some links of two
other projects, one commercial one which aimed something similiar like
dwm on win32. But all projects I tried were disappointing and my own
attempts were embarrassing as well unfortunately. I'd rather wait for
Windows 7 to give it a retry at some point...

I ended up using dwm on Cygwin/X instead -- in root mode.

I will give your script a try soon.
