Not a clone, really, more of a cousin.

Offspring of married cousins, perhaps?

No, that's unkind; I don't think wily is that bad.  I rather like it
under Unix, though I prefer acme.

In truth, it's based on an early version of Acme and, by
necessity, its interface to external applications is quite
different.  Mail under Wily is nothing like mail under
Acme, at least as I last saw Wily (quite a while ago now).

wily (the Unix acme clone) builds out of the box under Cygwin.
As do the Unix versions of rc and sam.

Two unrelated queries:

1) Is there a simple way to access files on my hard drive from a 
Plan9 virtual machine running under VMware under Windows 2000?

2) Is there an implementation of anything like Acme for Windows?

The Inferno hosted binaries will give you acme in windows (effectively).
