We (CodeSourcery) are very interested in Windows host support. (We distribute QEMU with our commerical development products for ARM/PowerPC/MIPS/SH/ColdFire/x86.) Unfortunately, we've mostly been backporting patches lately and haven't done a full merge from upstream in some time, so we haven't noticed any potential breakage. If somebody wanted to point out to me what the (potential) Windows issues are, we could take a look. -Nathan
