Here's the program so far. Still a bit of work left to do before I open it up to beta testers. Since there will only be one node on the network at first, I'll provide the IP address and port number of that node to enter in the Bootstrap fields.
You'll need PHP-GTK2 and PsTools for this to work. PsTools is a collection of Windows add-on from Microsoft. It contains a program called PsExec that enables the host program to launch channel clients as separate programs. The Linux process control functions normally built into PHP are not available in the Windows version, so I had to bang out another way of handling process control using PsExec and various Windows commands.

You can unzip these wherever you want them to go (I put them in C:\Program Files), then add their respective folders to your Windows path environment variable.
Then you'll need to forward the TCP listening port for the host program in your router.
Once all of that is done, unzip the P2P program wherever you want it to go. Go to its folder in Windows Explorer, right-click in the window while holding down the shift key, and select "Open command window here". At the command line, type "php main.exe" and hit enter. The console will print a few lines about the program startup, then the main window will open with the Connect tab visible.
The following screen shots show how to open a new channel and post on the channel's bulletin board.

I'll bump this thread once the program is uploaded somewhere so folks can try it out.
