Before dumping Windows, I used self built Emacs CVS with Gnus for some
time (2 years? Dont remember). I dont think there is any difference from
setting up in GNU/Linux or MacOSX (only I need set up to use bdf fonts).
I installed cygwin, and built Emacs with mingw, and run from cygwin (for
purpose of easily using cygwin apps like w3m, uncompface etc.).

I am very happy for this, since when I move to my Mac and Ubuntu, I only
need to copy two dirs out (~/gnus/ for all mails, score files etc,
~/.emacs.d/ for all Emacs related conf files), and put them under home
dir, and voila!
(This is one of the reasons I love Emacs/Gnus to death.)
