In february, I made a post about how nice a proper Windows port of evince could be. Well, seems like some lads have been actually working on it in the meantime and finally all the patches to make it work are in place. Special mentions goes to Alan Horkan for starting the ball rolling, Hib Ebris for doing all the work and Carlos Garcia Campos for reviewing and committing all the patches.
The only reamaining task is to create an easy to use installer and make it part of the standar release process, Hib and Jody Goldberg are already working on it. Once that's done we'll be ready to add Evince to the FSF PDF readers page.
Great stuff,
I enjoy having my Gnome apps on Windows (for work) as they are much more familiar to me...
Finally a decent PDF reader for Windows

You should explore NSIS. Really easy to use and you can make the Windows installer from within your linux installation.
