tinc - Feb 2013 - Windows 8 support?

Does tinc work on Windows 8?  If not, are there any plans to support it?

I was using tinc to provide remote support for my mother-in-law (allowing me
to connect her into my personal tinc-based VPN and easily connect a vnc
session).  Unfortunately her new PC runs Windows 8!  The alternative to tinc
is going to have to be some complex putty configuration, but I find using
vnc over ssh port forwarding seems to be slower than over tinc.

I've heard some people say that tinc runs fine on Windows 8. I haven't
tried it
out myself though. Try it out, and let us know your experience.

Yes, because with the former you have TCP-in-TCP encapsulation, which can cause
high latencies, while tinc usually avoids that.
