This is a bit linux centred, but shold work in windows

Get the source code from here:
extract it somewhere
download the patch
put patch in the src folder
open terminal (or whatever its called in windows)
run:
  • patch < "patch".diff (where patch = patchname) in windows if you have tortoisesvn, you could use tortoisemerge, or you can download the patch from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm
  • autoreconf
  • ./configure
  • make -j8
SHould give you a shiny new pcem executable to play with

There is a guide to compile with MSYS2, so... it is possible at least
