If there is a nice write up of the necessary step of setting up the tool 
chain, I can try and fix the incompatibilities in windows. 
Alternatively, if there is a place to list the mistakes, I can help make 
the osm2pgsql code more compatible again.

Well, it is good that all of the dependencies are available. Fixing the 
osm2pgsql code might be a bit tedious, but should be doable.

With respect to c99. I guess I can change the build scripts to using 
-ansi -pedantic. If it builds with gcc with those flags, will that help 
getting the build on windows?
