I don't think there are people still working on them. "Windows port"
means some changes to TagLib::File and a bunch of DLL exports. Once this
is done, there is no need to work on the port. If you use some VCS, the
maintenance (merging with SVN) can be done by simple cron job.

Anyway, here are links to the three publicly available ports:

 1. http://metz.gehn.net/downloads/
 2. https://launchpad.net/~luks/+branch/taglib/win32
    (now part of https://launchpad.net/~luks/+branch/taglib/taglib.ext)
 3. http://www.titus-dev.com/index.php?mod=Code%
