I agree that supporting Windows is a pain. (Actually, one of my
"someday" tasks is to actually build my library on Windows. I don't
think there are any roadblocks, but I have no doubt that it will take me
days if not weeks or more to get it actually building.) Unfortunately, a
lot of people use it though, and I'm not aware of another Windows
compiler that is not even more pain. You would not believe that the
steps we had to take to prepare a machine to do Windows builds via
cygwin at a previous job.
