Perhaps running cygwin under wine would help (if it is at all
possible)? You'll probably need access to native Windows DLLs
instead of the wine libs though.

BTW, if you really want to write cross-platform apps, you may consider
using Qt (not kde!) or wxWidgets. Just develop under FreeBSD as usual,
and then compile against the Windows versions of the libraries (Beware:
Qt requires $$$$ for the Windows version last time I checked), using
Cygwin, Borland C++ or Microsoft Visual C++ (under Wine, if you prefer
and if it is possible).

Good luck!
