PCB is based on Gtk or Lesstif. There is a native Gtk for Windows
(using MinGW, not Cygwin), which PCB uses for Windows support. The
Lesstif GUI works under OS/X's OpenMotif. Either GUI works (your
choice :) under ∗nix.
Someone's working on porting it to the Amiga (again), too, using
ReactOS.
We've been busy this last year!

I calculated once that PCB could do a board that was 0.25 miles to a
side, at 0.000010" resolution.
