5 years ago I did that for a non trivial Open Source project (it
included gtk, python, gstreamer, etc.).
I would say it was more or less 35% of the work it would require to do
it for LibreOffice, and it took me around 6 months (8 hours a day) to
have it perfectly right. On the other side, LibreOffice is easier as
the code already compiles well on Windows.

It can be done, yes. But it requires several months of work from
someone who knows what is doing and the result would probably be a
nightmare to maintain.
