You could still use find[1] (or the one from MSYS or Cygwin) or hack
together a little PHP script that collects the filenames recursively and
calls a Geany subprocess appropriately with the collected filenames.
Alternatively, you could generate the tags file in Linux and just copy
it into Windows.

It depends on the Windows version, it seems like they shuffle %HOME%
stuff around every version, but IIRC the manual has the directories for
recent Windows versions.
