Those programs run well under Linux, but I can't even find
straightforward info on how to install them under Windows. The
instructions say, do this, do that, but not if you are using Windows.

We Windows users are not accustomed to having to install compilers
before we install a tool.

I looked around quite a bit and FreePCB is the only one out there that
is open source, built for Windows and seems to be usable. Please
correct me if I am wrong. :)
