Geoinformatica contains a very recent GDAL (1.8 is not yet released) 
built for Windows with MinGW: 
http://geoinformatics.tkk.fi/files/Geoinformatica/win32/Geoinformatica-2010-10-18.exe

It contains Xerces so GML should be supported (if that's a requirement - 
I don't use GML much) - I have no idea if GML surfaces are supported. 
Mark Overmeer develops a Perl module for GML but as of yet there's no 
integration with Geoinformatica (which contains Perl support for GDAL).
