djgpp is a port of gcc which can compile dos exucatables, from the site 

"Yes, I know Windows is "the wave of the future", but I don't like it, so I 
don't support it. DJGPP is for making DOS programs, and if you can convince 
it to make a Windows program, good for you." 

how easy it would be to make windows executables I don't know. 

I would reckon your best bet would be to use something like lcc with some 
windows emulation, since you are going to want to test and debug it too. Even 
with that, I would feel very uncomfortable producing a windows program that I 
hadn't tested  on a pure windows system. 

Cheers,
