Build support in Windows has always been disabled. The reason was that  
g_io_channel functions didn't work at all, until about GLib 2.10. It  
might be worth enabling it now however. I don't know of a neat way to  
check if g_io_channel_* work, and with which Windows versions they work  
with. I think this needs to be looked into, so we can disable the build  
commands as necessary.

The Find in Files function also uses g_io_channel and it seems to work  
on Windows XP with a recent Gtk/GLib runtime (this isn't disabled on  
windows, I guess this is inconsistent ;-)). One minor annoyance is that  
it always (IME) pops up a command-prompt window, which then disappears.
