Well, certainly sounds like there is enough interest out there for it.  
Being a programmer (and one who is still trying to port an 
GTK/GTK+ based [programmer] tool from Linux -> Win32) I'm still 
uncertain how realistic it is.  Renaud?  Do you you have any input 
as to how realistic it would be to get cygwin-based nessusd & 
nessus (CLI & GUI) from 'current' code?  How about the same for 
mingw (without cygwin)?

  Also, is there an nessus-devel list that this would be better moved 
to?
