I'm not, but it could be done.  Write a socket wrapper class that
presents an ifstream/ofstream interface to the remote machine.  Have
your windows program re-assign its stdin/stdout to an instance of the
socket wrapper class.  If you want to maintain complete separation
of the socket/stream redirector and the client windows program, you
could put this functionality in a separate program that then spawns
a child process (which is the GTP client app) passing it the new stdin,
etc.

I used to be on a Borland C++Builder mailing list, and handling
redirects of stdin/stdout to acquire/output data to/from a 
file/socket/etc. was a fairly common question.  You should not have
to use cygwin, and most likely can be done with standard c++ and
wouldn't even require windows API calls (except possibly CreateProcess).
