Awesome!  I really appreciate your offer to post documentation about  
your progress.  Updates and edits to these docs would be good:

http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/InstallDetails
http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/InstallOnWindows

Building Tahoe-LAFS for Windows is definitely doable -- many people  
have done it, and we have a buildbot that runs the unit tests on  
Windows on every darcs commit (http://allmydata.org/buildbot/ ), but  
it isn't automatic right now, mostly because its dependencies  
pycryptopp and zfec seem not to be found by the build tool even  
though they are available from here:
