1. You should keep the mailing list CC-ed.

2. We don't support windows much. It's more like we try to make it run
there, but there are no guarantees. So you have two choices:
a) Try to troubleshoot and fix the problems on windows, which would
become part of your GSOC contributions to the project.
b) Install cygwin or use linux

3. I don't think Swift 0.8 works with Windows. I would recommend trying
the SVN version, either the stable branch or trunk. If you are going to
be a GSOC student for Swift, that is the code you will work with.
