I've been looking at the User's issue that Martin mentioned but that
won't help on the windows front.

I've also picked up a copy of wxMaxima sources. I've been looking at
making a wxAxiom. It looks reasonably straightforward and might bear
fruit but not likely in the time frame you would like. Looking at
the details is queued behind the current test cycle.

A wxAxiom would give us a completely portable front end that had
a look and feel similar to Maxima.
