Since this thread should catch the attention of the Java/MapServer
contingent, I thought it'd be a good place for a request.  Does anyone
have a Windows binary with a Java MapScript library that they can share?
  Alternately, has anybody successfully done it?  Can it be built with
MinGW or some other free compiler?  I'm not set up to compile something
like this on Windows and the whole process seems like it could turn into
a serious chore just for some experimenting.
