It's no secret that OpenStep (including Project Builder) used to run on Windows. That was its primary platform at the time Apple bought NeXT. But it should be pretty obvious that this is completely irrelevant to the question of whether a distant descendent of this code (after *twelve years* of intense development by hundreds of engineers hardwiring it into a completely different OS foundation) could be ported back to Windows. By analogy, twelve years ago my son used to fit into cute little onesies and sleep in a crib. Good luck trying to fit him back into any of those now!
("Yellow Box" was just a placeholder term in 1996 for "whatever modern GUI framework we drop into the future rewritten Mac OS". It came from an architectural diagram of the OS, in a slide presentation, where the box in question was in fact yellow. During the Q&A, people referring to that component called it "that yellow box", and the name stuck. The Yellow Box was going to be many different things at different times, including Java and BeOS, but ended up being OpenStep.)
In any case, Xcode is not a compiler technology...
