I thought before and still think this is a very important project. I
would encourage anyone who can, to please go ahead and make it happen.
The Win32 platforms currently don't have a decent free solution for
developing software, which is a Bad Thing IMHO, especially as serious
development has all but left MSDOS.
Unfortunately, I know almost nothing about Win32, which at least
currently prevents me from contributing to this project.
