    It should work without problem under cygwin.

    Under win32, the problem is that all temporary files have the
  same name. It sounds possible to use the same system as
  UNIX, creating in  src/systems/win32/win32.c

  - pid_t getpid(void)
  which would return the pid of the process, using
  GetCurrentProcessId.

  - uid_t getuid(void)
  which would return some hash of the user name (using
  GetUserName).

         Thanks,
