Just grab one of the pre-compiled MapServer Windows distributions e.g.
MS4W, and copy the cgi-bin to the hosted server's cgi-bin or scripts
directory. Then make a request to host/scripts/mapserv.exe and you'll
know pretty quickly if they allow CGIs. As long as the required DLLs
are in the same directory as the .exe you should have to do a lot more
than that.
HTH,
