well, libgnomedb has a dependency on Bonobo just for a few bits, so it
should be possible to not compile that part on Windows, and just compile
the plain GTK widgets, which is the biggest part in libgnomedb. That
way, you will have all the GTK data-bound widgets without having to port
Bonobo/ORBit to Windows.

Of course, as Daniel says, prior to that, libgda should work on windows.
