There's nothing available for sending Remote AEs directly, and it's a
proprietary protocol so implementing third-party support could be
difficult. A much easier option would be to set up a simple client-
server system that passes event data over its own secure channel.
e.g. It'd be quite trivial to create a platform-independent version
of rb-appscript to act as a Windows-based frontend - I could create a
portable rb-appscript implementation in a day, though I'd need
someone with network programming experience to provide code for
pushing serialised Ruby data over the network.
Specifically, I'd love to be able to fire up iTunes on my Mac from
my Windows laptop.
If all you're wanting to do is control iTunes remotely, I'd go with
what other folks are suggesting: using vnc or ssh to log onto your
Mac. If you use ssh, you might check out the command-line iTunes
controller at:

(requires appscript 0.16.x). Not tried it myself, but it sounds
pretty good.
Another option would be to dig around the interweb for web-based
iTunes remotes, of which there are a few, e.g.:
