## Does it run on Windows?

Yes. All development happens in lock-step on all 3 target platforms. Using MinGW, not Cygwin. Note that the windows implementation currently has some limitations: in particular tasks [cannot unwind on windows][unwind], and all Rust executables [require a MinGW installation at runtime][libgcc].

Also while nitpicking: does it only apply to executables or every code generated (libraries) by rustc?

It applies to all dll files (dynamic libs), but not rlibs.
