Charles:
The source files (and Bison) make just fine under Cygwin for windows
(www.cygwin.com) or Linux:
$ svn co https://edif2kicad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edif2kicad
$ make
not sure what you are using under Windows but I just released 
e2schEXE.zip which includes the *.exe files made and zipped under 
Cygwin that you might want to give a try since ftp to
upload.sourceforge.net was acting weird...

Sorry about the drag and drop problem, Cygwin is the only Windows
IDE I have available.
