I think because no one stepped up and merged the code into the official
source.  It's going to require someone willing and interested enough to 
do this.  It looks like Rob originally said he expected to do this, but
it obviously hasn't happened.  He said last month:

And a while before that, he explained what he thought his future role
would likely be with respect to euphoria (my pet theory is that he
got a job :) :

The code base has changed a bit since then, so there's probably more work
involved than would have been originally.  I'm not really interested in 
adding mingw--OpenWatcom works well for me--though I think it would be
a worthy addition.
