Note that the graphviz utilities do build under windows and
even under cygwin.  So one can export R graph data to GXL,
then use the gxl2dot utility of graphviz to get a dot
file, then use dotty or dot to visualize.  You may need
to tweak the GXL to get gxl2dot to succeed with the
toGXL dump.

example:

library(graph)
example(graphNEL)
cat(saveXML(toGXL(gR)),file="goo.gxl")
