At my day work, a PhD student found the time and patience to create
a windows installer for gEDA from one of DJ Delorie's nightly compiles.
He used the tool open sourced Inno-Setup to build the installer.exe. I
saw gschem and pcb running on his win7 desktop. There were no obvious 
differences visible compared to my linux box. It seemed quite snappy :-)

I just placed the exe file on a server for download:
http://bibo.iqo.uni-hannover.de/index.html/doku.php?id=schaltungsentwurf:tools:geda_for_ms-windows

The major tools gschem, gnetlist and pcb are supposed to work out of
the box. Since the primary audience of this installer is intended to
work at IQO, it contains our local library in addition to the defaults. 

Feel free to download and test.
