I can tell you a bit about this.   There is progress on the front of getting a 
"complete" source code distribution out.   There is also a newer alpha binary 
distribution that is running with XP service pack 2 and a recent distribution 
of cygwin.   As noted above, the coda client does require cygwin.   

I will be putting the most recent binary distribution of the Coda client for 
Windows on the coda ftp server soon.   I'll make an announcement when I have 
completed that job.  This most recent coda client includes getting a version 
of cygwin from a mirror of cygwin maintained by the coda project.  It is not 
updated as often as other cygwin mirrors to make sure that the client runs 
with the version of cygwin distributed by the coda project.
