Yes, windows support would be cool, but it requires a mentor with Windows 
knowledge, which we dont have.

So this won't do for a GSOC.

Would require some work, but in theory possible. I just doubt it's something 
that we should spent time on though. We should rather try to get it running at 
all under Windows and have some way to compile + debug applications. People 
who use some non-standard C++ features probably stick to VS anyways.

This is possible already.
