Sorry if this is dupe - found the e-mail address after I submitted via the web form.  This time I've got the files attached.

I had a go at trying to get the UnQL makefile to work within Windows.  Thought I'd report in on my findings and share my scripts.

I got a perfectly working NMake script, but Visual Studio isn't going to cut it.  I got the lib and exes to compile though there were a ton of compiler warnings.  The tool fails two tests, then dies a horrible death.
I think the VS C compiler is just totally outdated at this point and isn't going to be an option.  Tried in C++ mode too, but got errors that make me pretty sure this is real C code with non-C++ features.

I used AWK from here, and threw it in the "gawk" subdirectory of the source package: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm

I got it working in some old version of mingw32 I had installed (GCC says 3.4.5?), though still with NMake.  The GCC version, test results, and scripts are attached (also had to rename the batch file because of gmail).

42 errors from 149 tests.
